HIAS mobilizes and leverages the voice of the Jewish community to support policies that affirm the fundamental rights and human dignity of people who are seeking safety and security. We will help you build and leverage your community’s power on local, state, national, and international issues affecting those who have been forcibly displaced. From signing petitions and joining call-in campaigns to meeting with your legislators, this engagement will be calibrated to your congregation’s strengths, abilities, and interests. To engage in HIAS’ current advocacy campaigns, use our Advocacy toolkit and visit our Take Action page.
