Contact Our Elected Officials.
Stand in solidarity with refugees around the world and let our elected officials know we want refugees in Arkansas- and that the revised admissions cap must be given immediately.
Please join us in calling on Senator Boozman and our Congressional representatives to let them know that Northwest Arkansas expects the US to stand by the commitment the Biden Administration made to revising the cap on refugee admissions for this fiscal year.
What to Say:
Sample Script: “I’m your constituent from [CITY/TOWN], and [as a person who cares about refugees/as a person of faith/as a proud Arkansan/etc], I urge you to:
Tell President Biden that refugees can not afford to wait until May 15. We need to begin resettling refugees as soon as possible.
Arkansas welcomes refugees. I urge you to do the same.”
You can call or write our elected officials.
Don’t like to speak on the phone? Call after 5pm EST: Typically, calls will go to voicemail, where you can leave your message.
