Resolution of the Laufenburg Town Council, http://seebruecke.ch/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Zusage-Laufenburg.pdf
The Laufenburg town council declares its willingness to take in refugees. The Laufenburg Regional Social Service is instructed to inform the cantonal authorities of this decision and to represent the position of the Laufenburg Town Council.
The Laufenburg Town Council would like the IG Asyl Laufenburg to contribute and support the care and integration of refugees. It would be pleased to receive suggestions and offers in this area from IG Asyl Laufenburg.
This initiative is part of the campaign “500 people for Aargau”.
The refugee camps in Greece are in dire straits. Several tens of thousands of refugees are locked up in camps under the most degrading conditions. Their situation is so unbearable that at Easter 2020, the three national churches of Switzerland jointly appealed to the Federal Council to alleviate the tragedy and accept 5000 refugees from Greece into Switzerland.
The campaign “500 people for the municipalities in Aargau” takes up this appeal and wants to achieve that municipalities and cities voluntarily increase their quota for taking in people. In this way, they can create the necessary capacity in and with the canton for the government to register the “free space” with the federal government for the admission of people from precarious camps. Numerous communes have already given positive feedback.
Ask your municipality in Aargau to take in people too. The requests are coordinated by the association Netzwerk Asyl Aargau.
