Let Asylum Seekers Work

In October 2023, Refugees International, the Refugee Advocacy Lab, the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association brought together more than 60 local and national organizations from across the country to launch the #LetAsylumSeekersWork campaign.

Our diverse coalition included business leaders, faith leaders, local elected officials, impacted community members, and others from across the country, united in urging Congress to support the bipartisan House Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act (ASWAA). More than 2,000 people from across the country called on their members of Congress to prioritize this bipartisan solution.
