Dear John,

For nearly 140 years, HIAS has helped millions of people flee violence and persecution – and our work is more vital right now than ever before. Today, we’d like to share a little more about what that means in practice.

From the Trump administration’s travel ban to the “Remain in Mexico” policy, the United States is admitting fewer refugees and asylum seekers than ever before. At a time in our history when an unprecedented number of families has been forced to flee their homes to escape violence and persecution, we should be extending a hand of welcome to those who need one – not turning our backs.

That’s why our teams at HIAS are working tirelessly at our southern border and across the country to provide legal aid, resettlement assistance and livelihood support to families at the border. And with more individuals than ever in history fleeing persecution and violence, our work has never been more urgently needed.

As we continue doing whatever it takes to help families navigate legal battles and find safety and stability, we need your support to make our life-changing work possible. John, will you make a gift today to make sure HIAS can continue extending a helping hand to refugees and asylum seekers in their moments of greatest need?

Make a gift of $18 now to help HIAS continue providing refugees and asylum seekers with the critical support they need in their search for safety and freedom from violence.

Thank you,

Team HIAS
