EPIC Commends Congressmen Hastings, Dingell and Shays for their Humanitarian Leadership on Iraq[July 17] Last night, Congressmen Hastings, Dingell, and Shays reintroduced H.R. 6496, the "Iraq Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons Humanitarian Assistance, Resettlement, and Security Act," a comprehensive, multi-year regional plan to address the humanitarian needs of Iraqi refugees, IDPs, and other vulnerable populations affected by the war in Iraq. It is a strong bill which confronts all aspects of the humanitarian crisis. According to Congressman Hastings, “The plight of Iraqi refugees and IDPs is worsening by the day. It is heartbreaking to hear the stories of families who fled for their safety, are now unable to work and have subsequently depleted their savings in order to survive. Irrespective of one’s view on the Iraq war, I believe that the United States has a moral obligation to address this humanitarian crisis." Stay tuned for update on the bill and to learn what you can do to help. Read the Full Text of the Bill EPIC Opens New Action Headquarters
