Season 2, Episode 2: US Wrapped

02 May 2025

Description

In this episode, we take a hard look at the unraveling of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). Once a bipartisan humanitarian cornerstone, USRAP has been systematically dismantled by the current administration. Host Hannah Joos walks us through the program’s origins, how it operated across continents, and what we stand to lose when refugee protections are gutted overnight. From the presidential determination to the shuttering of Resettlement Support Centers, this episode offers a comprehensive and personal account of what it means when a country built on welcome chooses to close its doors.This isn’t just a history lesson, it’s a call to remember that resettlement was never just a process. It was a promise. Host: Hannah Joos Original Music: Michael Caskey aka Bunny Patootie 📣 Call to Action: We need more than outrage. We need action. This week, take five minutes to contact your congressional representative. Tell them you support the restoration and protection of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

Every word builds pressure. Every voice matters. Let’s make sure they hear us loud and clear: Refugees belong. USRAP must be restored.
