Lucas, More than 65 million.
That staggering figure is how many fellow human beings have been forced
from their homes by war or persecution. It’s the highest number
of displaced people ever recorded. More than half are children.
While the news cycle reports on crisis flashpoints, most refugees suffer
out of the spotlight. But the mission of UNHCR — the UN Refugee
Agency — is to protect them all — and to ensure that they
have not been forgotten.
Sign the petition from USA for UNHCR to emphatically say you support refugees
who've been displaced by war, and you want them to be safe.
When a crisis erupts, UNHCR is often the first on the scene within 72
hours and stays with refugees along each step of their journey to a more
peaceful future.
USA for UNHCR supporters help the UN Refugee Agency reach those in desperate
need — from Syria to Ukraine, Central America to South Sudan or
wherever vulnerable families are forced to flee. We must help refugees
live in safety and give them the protection and support they need to rebuild
their lives.
Your signature is your voice — your opportunity, as a global citizen,
to make sure that those who have been forced to flee their homes are never
forgotten.
Sign our petition affirming your support of USA for UNHCR and help refugees today.
Sincerely,
Anne-Marie Grey
Executive Director and CEO
USA for UNHCR
