Take ActionTell Congress: Resume critical humanitarian programs now

The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program has been shut down. And essential programs that provide clean water, shelter, medical care, and other critical services around the world have been suspended. If we don’t act now, the U.S. will be abandoning millions of people to exploitation, violence, and hunger.

This Passover, as we gather together to tell the story of the Jewish people’s original flight from persecution, we hold in our minds the more than 120 million people around the world who have been forced to flee their homes. HIAS has created several resources to help you celebrate Passover and honor displaced people around the world.
