    Welcome Springfield exists to support Springfield’s growing immigrant population and to educate our community on the value that these new and aspiring Americans bring to our community and economy.
    ​
    Recently, on a National level, the rhetoric surrounding immigration and refugees has become increasingly harsh.  Please sign the statement below to express your support for compassionate and just approach to immigration in Clark County and beyond.

    “I want my community to be known as a place that welcomes immigrants of all backgrounds and faiths. While I recognize and support reasonable steps to ensure our national security, I also stand opposed to all forms of communication and policy that fail to recognize the human dignity and innate value of our global neighbors, especially those fleeing hardship, violence, poverty and persecution. We welcome these individuals to our community. We want elected officials at all levels to work toward bipartisan solutions that honor and respect the needs of the immigrants and refugees who have come to our nation and to Clark County, Ohio.”
