Will you stand #WithRefugees?

Each day war forces thousands of families to flee their homes.
People like you, people like me.

Add your name to the #WithRefugees petition to send a clear message to governments that they must act with solidarity and shared responsibility.

We stand together #WithRefugees.
Please stand with us.
