Organizations and Congregations Support Refugee Resettlement

Governor Nixon

Please join the effort to keep Missouri a safe and welcoming place for refugee families from all nations by listing your organization or congregation on this petition. 

As politicians around the country call for a halt to resettling Syrian refugees in the U.S., we support Gov. Nixon in his refusal to discriminate against refugee families. At a time when hundreds of thousands of refugees are fleeing mortal danger it is imperative that our communities rise to the call to make our state a welcoming refuge for individuals and families seeking a new start in a safe place.

We, the signed organizations and congregations, call on elected leaders in Missouri and around the nation to follow the lead of residents and community organizations by standing up for refugee families.

Rather than succumbing to fear-mongering, Missouri and our neighbors must honor the American tradition of welcoming those seeking a better life in this country.
