Friend,

Over the last four years, the past administration dismantled our nation’s refugee resettlement system, and eliminated asylum protections. While President Biden promises change, we have a long way to go to repair our immigration system. Today, we're reaching out to you about the urgent work that needs to be done.

When the previous administration reduced refugee admissions, refugee resettlement organizations — which welcome refugees and help them find housing and support in their new communities — also shrank. Groups like HIAS must now rebuild our capacity to welcome new arrivals, a process that will take months of hard work.

As refugee resettlement moves into full swing once again, HIAS is fully committed to meeting the needs of displaced children and families. But this crucial work simply isn’t possible without your help, and we’re asking for your immediate contribution in support of those seeking safety around the world:

Will you make a donation of $18 or more today to provide critical assistance to refugees and asylum seekers looking to build new lives free from danger and persecution?

Years of anti-refugee restrictions have diminished the ability of resettlement organizations to hire staff who speak the languages and understand the needs of refugee communities. HIAS is doing all we can to expand our capacity to meet the needs of refugees in this critical moment, providing them with one-on-one counseling, gender-based violence support, and other vital assistance.

Driven by our Jewish values and history, HIAS will never turn our backs on the people who have fled persecution in their homelands and now urgently need our assistance. But your support is essential to our lifesaving mission, so we hope you’ll step up and pitch in right away:

Make a gift of $18 or more now to support refugees and asylum seekers rebuilding their lives around the world during a global pandemic.

Thank you for all you do,

Team HIAS
