Dear John,
There are many hard truths about the events unfolding at our southern border. The situation is worse than you think. Most of the people seeking safety in the United States – many of them children – are up against a complex system with no legal support.
Not only is our government taking unprecedented steps to limit admissions of the refugees and asylum seekers who most need our help, they’re separating families and holding innocent children in detention, while their parents remain in Mexico awaiting their day in court. These are people who need a helping hand, not a slammed door.
As this humanitarian crisis only grows more dire, HIAS remains one of the most experienced organizations responding to help asylum seekers right there on the ground at our border – but our life-changing efforts depend entirely on the generosity of supporters like you.
Will you donate $18 or more right now to help asylum seekers and refugees at our border and around the world escape dangerous situations in their homelands?
Our community of supporters drives our work, making it possible for our teams to provide an array of services at the border, from individual legal representation, to educational presentations to help refugees and asylum seekers know their rights, to reuniting families who have been separated.
This work is absolutely vital to helping asylum seekers build new lives free from persecution and violence, but the truth is that none of this work is possible without your help. That’s why we’re counting on you to help make sure we can continue extending a helping hand to all those who need one by stepping up with your support today.
Please, donate $18 or more right now to help HIAS continue providing critical legal aid and resettlement assistance to refugees and asylum seekers in their most urgent moments of need.
Thank you for coming through with your support at such a critical moment,
Sue Kenney-Pfalzer
Director of Border & Asylum Network, HIAS
