HIAS is asking Americans to call their governors and tell them to come out in favor of refugee resettlement. That link is to a page that will place a call to your governor's office for you, but I read the email and wrote my own script.
In case anyone wants it, here's the first part of what I left on Governor Baker's answering machine:
"Hello, my name is [real name]. I’m a constituent from Belmont. Please tell the governor to declare his support for refugee resettlement in Massachusetts." (I then said that this is particularly important to me because my mother was a refugee.)
