John,
Tomorrow marks three years since President Trump signed an executive order that slammed the door on those seeking safety and refuge in the United States. HIAS fought tirelessly in court to block that initial refugee ban, but ever since taking office, this administration has repeatedly sought to deny entry to those seeking safety and freedom.
As the world grapples with the continuing global refugee crisis, we cannot and will not turn our backs on the tens of millions of families fleeing violence and persecution in their homelands. HIAS is working in 15 countries to provide that support and protect refugees against harmful policies, but our efforts simply aren’t possible without you.
That’s why we’re counting on you to step up today to make sure we reach our $75,000 goal before midnight tonight so we can continue extending a helping hand to those who need one – but time is running out. Please, will you make a gift now to help provide vital support for refugees and asylum seekers?
Guided by our shared values, HIAS is expanding our work to address the needs of people in 15 countries who have been forced from their homes by providing legal assistance, counseling and resources to help them achieve financial independence. At this defining moment in our country’s history, we’re committed to ensuring that refugees and asylum seekers are treated with fairness and compassion.
As we fight to defend our country’s moral integrity, help us reclaim the anniversary of the Trump administration’s first refugee ban by supporting our work in 2020. Can we count on you to come through for refugees and asylum seekers right now by making a gift today?
Thank you for all you do to support this life-changing work.
Team HIAS
