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!
"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.
Have you been finding it difficult to keep up with the ever-changing news surrounding immigration and refugee resettlement? We can help. Sign up for the LIRS Daily Digest, which offers a roundup of all things immigration Monday-Friday.
Our Building Hope for Change series continues with a virtual event in the American Southwest. Join LIRS and special guests Rep. Ben Ray Lujan and Congressional candidate Teresa Leger Fernandez to learn more about what you can do to make a difference in the lives of immigrants and refugees.
