Urge St. Cloud City Council to Vote ‘NO’ on Moratorium on Refugee Resettlement

(MINNEAPOLIS, MN, 10/17/2017) - - The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) is calling on all Minnesotans to urge the St. Cloud City Council to vote “NO” on a motion calling for a moratorium on refugee resettlement in St. Cloud.

Sources report to CAIR-MN that the anti-refugee motion will be introduced by Councilmember Jeff Johnson (4th Ward) during the next city council meeting taking place on Monday, October 23.

TAKE ACTION – STAND WITH REFUGEES

“Members of the St. Cloud City Council should vote against Councilman Jeff Johnson’s despicable, racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and ill-informed motion targeting refugees,” said CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein. “Discrimination and bigotry towards refugees should not have a place in the St. Cloud City Council.”
