"Hundreds of elected officials—from Alaska to Florida, from Maine to Ohio—are showing us how, time and time again, communities across the country stand up and proudly declare they are ready and willing to welcome people seeking safety." www.refugeeadvocacylab.org/resources/45... #FreedomToWelcome

Today, I am proud to join hundreds of state and local elected leaders across our nation to call on the federal government to restore America's #FreedomToWelcome refugees. (1/3)
