** Welcome to This Week at LIRS!
------------------------------------------------------------
Every Friday, we catch you up on what's new at LIRS HQ—from upcoming events to media appearances, important immigration updates, and more.

This week, we were thrilled to convene experts from around the world for a virtual panel as part of Climate Week NYC, "Climate Migration: Understanding Challenges and Generating Solutions to Address the Crisis." It was a great conversation—and one of many more to come!

Watch the event. ([link removed][UNIQID])

"As people of faith, we believe that we must honor the dignity of every human, regardless of national origin."

This week, we sent a letter to President Trump signed by 243 faith leaders from the ELCA calling for at least 95,000 refugee admissions in the coming fiscal year.
