Speak up for refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced people
The Trump administration has announced a travel ban targeting millions of people simply because of where they are from.
So many like you in the HIAS community joined us eight years ago when a similar ban was announced — speaking out, protesting, and standing up for those being targeted — and today, I’m asking for you to join us again.
The Trump administration is causing irreversible harm to immigrants, refugees, and displaced people. Add your name to join HIAS and speak out against the atrocities that are happening right now, and affirm your support for immigrants and refugees.
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.
Before we arrived I didn’t know exactly how it would be. But from the airport we came to our house — a private house. We have furniture, food, we have everything. From zero to hero! We have everything we need.
HIAS can work with you directly to help determine how your congregation can help refugees in ways that are tailored to your community.
HIAS advocates meet directly with members of Congress to impress upon them the urgency and importance of ensuring the rights, safety, and dignity of refugees, asylum seekers, and those with humanitarian parole.
People and communities of faith have a unique, powerful, and morally resonant role to play in advocating against unjust policies that target immigrants, mobilizing support for our neighbors, and protecting our communities. Explore how you can stand in solidarity with vulnerable communities and respond to unjust policies.
