You can do what the federal government won’t: fund resettlement. Help a local office to keep their doors open and their lights on.
Last year, Mississippi welcomed 44 refugees. This year, Mississippi is on track to welcome only 11–25% fewer refugees. All of these refugees were resettled before the Trump Administration took office; following the Administration’s suspension, arrivals have stopped entirely–decreasing by 100%.
Declines in refugee arrivals over the next four years will permanently damage Mississippi’s resettlement program. During the last Trump Administration, almost 40% of local resettlement offices closed. Mississippi’s only resettlement office is at risk of pausing programs, laying off staff, or closing altogether.
