LIRS

We ARE a land of hope and welcome.

I'm so pleased to write to you with some good news!

This week, a federal judge ordered a temporary injunction against an
executive order that allowed state and local governments to refuse the
resettling of refugees, finding the policy likely unlawful.

And we're proud to say that LIRS has been at the forefront of
this battle, partnering with other organizations to challenge the
administration's executive order and advocate for refugees and
asylum seekers - thanks to you!

"These actions show that Lady Liberty still lifts her lamp beside
the golden door, despite illegal efforts to extinguish that flame of
compassion for those who need it most," said Krish O'Mara
Vignarajah, LIRS President and CEO

This just decision signals that most Americans still believe that we
live in a land of hope and welcome - a sanctuary where dreams
can come true.

Of course, this battle is far from over. But with your continued
commitment, we'll build on a groundswell of support and take
steps to ensure that those seeking freedom from violence, oppression,
and tyranny can find shelter here in America.

Thank you for doing all that you can to welcome refugees and asylum
seekers to a new life!

Best regards,
Kay Bellor
