Ways to Act Now

A demonstration at Reagan Airport in DC. Participants hold signs; one reads "The U.S. is slamming the door on tens of thousands of refugees." Another reads "Refugees Welcome" with the HIAS logo and hashtag "Jews for Refugees".

Tell President Trump: We stand with refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants.

We’re appalled that President Trump has used his first days in office to wreak havoc on immigrant communities, but we are prepared to respond to the unjust, dehumanizing refugee, immigration, and asylum policies that this new administration puts forward.

Demand Dignity and Safety for All Who Seek Refuge

As we brace for what lies ahead, our commitment is clear: We must stand strong and ready to defend immigrant rights. We must stand strong for welcome, and against the politics of fear, dehumanization, and demonization. Because too much is at stake.
