Building Bridges: Welcoming the Stranger

Today, there are over 100 million forcibly displaced people — the highest number since World War II — requiring us to recommit to our efforts to welcome the stranger.

How is Los Angeles working to welcome and protect those displaced because of war, violence, oppression, poverty, hunger, and climate change? What can citizens do to help these efforts?

Join HIAS at Building Bridges: Welcoming the Stranger, a conversation hosted by the Holocaust Museum LA to explore how we can apply lessons from our past to today’s challenges facing those seeking refuge.

Building Bridges is a cross-cultural discussion series that brings together leaders from diverse communities for town hall conversations about working toward common social justice goals.
