The State of Asylum and Pathways Forward for Those Seeking Safety: What You Need to Know and How to Take Action

For more than 117 million displaced people worldwide, shelter remains impermanent as they continue searching for lasting safety. 

With legal pathways all but shut down and immigration policies constantly shifting, asylum seekers both outside the U.S. and already here are encountering increased obstacles, uncertainty, and vulnerability. 

One month before the midterm elections, join communities across the country who are committed to safety and dignity for an update on the realities facing people pursuing asylum and the meaningful actions you can take to support those seeking welcome and refuge. 

Moderated by Noah Gottschalk, Chief External Relations Officer, HIAS, the discussion will feature: 

• Vanessa Dojaquez-Torres, Director, Policy & Advocacy, HIAS 

• Andrea Sáenz, Senior Counsel, Co-Counsel NYC, and Managing Director, National Immigration Habeas Institute
