✨ The US must take in our fair share of Syrian refugees✨ @change.org Www.change.org "Citizens of Earth, you have so much potential and power to Make a change...Let us help our brothers and sisters who have been displaced from their homes and now need a safe asylum." #GalacticaRoseWater ✨ Last week, the world saw the horrifying image of three-year-old #Syrian #AylanKurdi wash up dead on a beach in Turkey. He’s just one of thousands of refugees who have died trying to cross the Mediterranean to escape the horrible humanitarian crisis unfolding in #Syria. ✨To address a tremendous crisis like this, countries like the United States have to show real leadership, and increase the number of refugees allowed to resettle here. ✨We cannot stand by and let more children like Aylan needlessly die. Sign my petition to say that the United States should pledge to take our fair share of the Syrian #refugees. ✨Our allies have already pledged to do more... England has promised to take in 20,000 Syrians, and Germany, which has only a quarter of the population of the United States, has agreed to provide for 35,000. But so far, the United States has only taken in 1,554 people. I know we can do better. Numerous groups have called for the U.S. to take in 65,000 refugees -- we should pledge to support at least that number. ✨For centuries, we have taken in people who were driven out of their countries, and we are stronger for it. #AlbertEinstein was a refugee. #MadeleineAlbright was a refugee. Many people who contribute to American culture, science, art, and politics are refugees. No one chooses to become a #refugee. Sign my #petition to say that as the world’s most powerful country, we can choose to allow Syria’s children a chance at a future. -Karima Hijane
