Join HIAS for two special events this holiday season, as we shine the light of
welcome for refugees and asylum seekers in the U.S.
Dear John,
Here at HIAS, we are entering 2021 with a strengthened resolve to advocate for
the rights of refugees, asylum seekers, and the forcibly displaced – and with
renewed hope for what we can accomplish in the months to come. We are starting
the year with several events across January. More information is below – I hope
you’ll join us!
Merrill Zack,
Vice President, Community Engagement

systems that treat every person with fairness and compassion.
