On Friday February 3rd, citizens rallied outside Senator Gardner’s office to deliver letters and the message that we want him to take action to void the executive order against refugees.

John Lian, a Burmese national and Pastor at the Colorado Chin Baptist Church represented his community at Senator Gardner’s office.  

John shared that his church does what they can to serve the community and the homeless in Denver, and that they are committed to the US and to serving in the military. 

“…they are willing to fight for America and even die for America. That is our intention. We never intend to bring harm to America. We believe that we are so blessed to be in America.”

John is not only speaking on behalf of his community but for friends and family that are now stuck in the immigration process.

“Some of our friends are stuck in Malaysia, Thailand, and India waiting for their entry into the United States. They are not safe out there. If they wait 120 days, that can be long enough to die in a foreign country. Please help us get them here…”

YOU CAN STAND WITH JOHN AND OUR REFUGEE NEIGHBORS

JOIN THE RALLY FEB 12th

THE FACTS ARE THAT ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITTEE:

“For nearly 40 years the United States resettlement program has been the best in the world, providing safety and opportunity to millions of refugees.”
