Rep. Cori Bush is a master communicator, exemplifying compassion and leadership in a mere 240-character tweet. Over the weekend, Bush put out a simple message framing her work and her colleagues as saving lives.  

With news reports of crises affecting Afghanistan, Haiti, and Lebanon, Bush and others have called for the United States to have a pro-refugee approach.

Our work is to save lives.

Whether it's Afghanistan, Haiti, Lebanon, or communities facing extreme hardship worldwide-one thing we could do to save lives RIGHT NOW is become a country that welcomes more refugees with open arms.
