WE BELIEVE that the people of Iraq and the United States are interconnected by events over the past five years, and that far more is needed to help Iraqi families who are displaced or otherwise affected by violence in Iraq.

WE CALL ON President Bush, Members of Congress, and presidential candidates to do far more to:
Strengthen humanitarian assistance to the region;
Support effective relief, peacebuilding, and community-based development in Iraq; and
Increase U.S. admissions and expedite resettlement of vulnerable Iraqi refugees.

WE COMMIT ourselves to help millions of Iraqis in need of humanitarian relief and protection and to make a better, safer world for the people of Iraq and the United States.
