"Together for refugees: Home safe home", Jun 2017

Imagine closing your front door behind you without knowing if you’ll ever be able to return. For many, this has become all too real. Right now, record numbers of people around the world are being forced to flee their homes due to war and violence. We’re teaming up with the International Rescue Committee to call on our fans to support a historic piece of legislation that would help refugees resettle safely in Europe. Just ONE email from you could make all the difference. Sometimes the news can feel overwhelming, making it all too easy to turn away. But right now, we’re facing a defining moment. The historic legislation currently being discussed by the European Union could provide safe and legal routes for vulnerable refugees to reach safety and rebuild their lives. The legislation, aka the ‘Union Resettlement Framework’, gives our leaders an opportunity to come together and agree on a coordinated, humanitarian response to the refugee crisis. With a focus on resettling those most vulnerable, it will allow us to help more people rebuild their future by welcoming them through a safe and legal route...and removing the need for dangerous journeys...
