Requesting no war with Iran.

Requesting no war with North Korea. Requesting anyone wanting to leave that country have immediate refugee status in the U.S.

Requesting no war with Venezuela. Requesting anyone wanting to leave that country have immediate refugee status in the U.S.

Requesting that South Africans fleeing be granted immediate refugee status in the U.S. Requesting that Hong Kong people fleeing be granted immediate refugee status in the U.S.

Think the land of the free needs to stop being at war with everyone and start taking care of people in need.

Shame is great when people are left to die. Where is the church helping people to flee these evil times?
