Dear John,

The 2020 elections are approaching quickly and there are important races up and down the ballot in every state in the country. 

The stakes are high this election season, and there’s one question we need to ask every candidate: “Will you stand up for refugees and asylum seekers if you are elected?”

The goal of HIAS’ Vote for Welcome campaign is simple: educate and make sure that candidates in races across the country state their support for welcoming refugees and asylum seekers. We can do this, but we need your help.

Click here to participate in the Vote for Welcome Campaign. 

Anyone can be part of this project -- in large or small ways. We’ve made our resources available online, and are holding a webinar on July 1 at 4pm ET (registration required) for anyone who wants to learn more.

For the past four years, our government has slammed our country’s doors on people seeking a safe life for themselves and their families. Please help to ensure the United States resumes our global leadership role in resettling refugees and again upholds our asylum laws.

Thank you for casting your Vote for Welcome. 

Team HIAS
