Show Montana's Support for Refugees
Senator Jon Tester and Senator Steve Daines
President Donald Trump's executive order cutting off the flow of properly screened refugees to the United States is unjust and unconscionable.
The President’s order deprives refugees of the opportunity to renew their lives in safety, and deprives our communities and our nation of the opportunity to benefit from the hard work, ingenuity and determination that so many refugees have demonstrated time and again.
As Montana residents, we know our state and our country are safer -- and stronger -- when we open our hearts and homes to refugees in need. The President's executive order is an assault on a bedrock American principle: as a nation of immigrants, we are called to extend the hand of friendship to the oppressed, tend to the suffering caused by their plight, and weave them into a national fabric that has always grown stronger through diversity. It is our heritage, and it is also the right thing to do.
Sign today to send a message to Senator Jon Tester and Senator Steve Daines telling them that Montana residents care about refugees, and urging them to take action against President Donald Trump's executive order.

[Your Name]
Dear Senators Tester and Daines,
As a Montana resident, I urge you to take action against President Donald Trump's Executive Order shutting off the flow of properly screened refugees to the United States.
We know Montana to be a welcoming, supportive and informed community that can assist refugees to integrate and thrive. This is evidenced in the work of Soft Landing Missoula, the IRC Missoula and the incredibly warm reception recent refugee arrivals have received in Missoula. As a nation of immigrants, we are called to extend the hand of friendship to the oppressed, tend to the suffering caused by their plight, and weave them into a national fabric that has always grown stronger through diversity.
Now is the time to speak against this unjust and unconscionable executive order. I urge you to speak publicly and take action today.
