Join HIAS for a special program featuring Debra Messing, Mandana Dayani, and
former refugees who we welcomed to America years ago and now give back to our
country.
Dear John,
We’re excited to share that actress and activist Debra Messing is joining
Mandana Dayani for Welcome to Paradise: Refugees at Home in LA
[[link removed]] . Through their podcast “The Dissenters,” Messing and Dayani reflect on what it
takes to build a more inclusive America, and on Tuesday they will talk about how
we can build upon that vision by welcoming refugees, asylum seekers and
immigrants into our communities.

Vice President, Community Engagement

February 16, 2021 | Tuesday | 1:00pm PT
Hear from former refugees who we welcomed to America years ago and now give back
to our country and, especially, the city of Angels. Their experiences illuminate
why the fight to preserve welcome is so critical, and why we must take action to
advocate for robust refugee and asylum programs. You will hear from Mandana
Dayani (above left), a former HIAS client resettled from Iran who went on to
become a corporate attorney, talent agent, and producer of hit shows like The Rachel Zoe Project , and later co-founded I am a voter . This program is part of the Welcome to Paradise: Refugees at Home in LA series, a partnership of HIAS and the Holocaust Museum LA.
