Resolution Letters: On Refugee and Immigrant Rights and Executive Order and In Support of the United States’ Commitment to and Participation in the Paris Climate Accord

Each year, the SSSP membership proposes resolutions to publicly declare their sentiments on social justice issues, thereby creating a channel for greater visibility and more direct influence upon a variety of “publics,” i.e., fellow activists, scholars, students, decision-makers, social action groups, voters, and others. If the resolution requires letters to be sent, the Administrative Office distributes these to appropriate individuals or agencies.

Click here to see short descriptions of the actions SSSP took and letters sent following the passage of Resolution: On Refugee and Immigrant Rights and Executive Order and Resolution: In Support of the United States’ Commitment to and Participation in the Paris Climate Accord.
