🚨 Now is the time to meet the moment. 🚨 The U.S. Department of State has suddenly terminated its Reception & Placement contract, cutting off critical support for newly arriving refugees. This decision will leave thousands of vulnerable families stranded—without the housing, case management, and essential resources they need to rebuild their lives in safety. This isn’t just policy. This is life or death. ❌ Families left without a place to call home ❌ Newcomers losing access to essential services overnight ❌ Thousands of lives disrupted, dreams deferred At REACT DC, we refuse to turn our backs. While funding has been cut, our commitment remains unshakable. But we can’t do this alone. Every dollar you give helps us continue welcoming refugees with dignity, providing housing support, employment services, and community connections to those left in limbo. Give now and stand with us. Your donation today ensures no family is left behind. 🔗 Donate now: www.reactdc.org/donate
