"Double the Quota" urges voters to pressure their elected leaders

Double the Quota urges voters wanting to respond to the Muslim ban to pressure their elected leaders to take action. “Less than a year later, Dunedin welcomed the first of a small but growing population of Syrian families. Ask local MPs to pledge their support for you and protecting refugees - it is an election year after all and they'll be itching to help. At the end of the year a community sponsorship scheme will be trialed with 25 places, likely to be based off of a Canadian model. This number needs to be rapidly scaled up, and as with the Canadian approach, has to be used alongside a fair quota and not as a user-pays privatization of refugee protection.”
