Austin Jews for Refugees Assembly
After almost three years of attacks on the U.S. refugee and asylum programs, the number of refugees entering the country has dramatically slowed and asylum-seeking families have been torn apart at our southern border. At this time of unprecedented need, the U.S. is failing to meet a basic obligation to victims of war, terror, torture, and persecution. Now our community is taking a stand.
Join HIAS, Refugee Services of Texas, elected officials, refugee speakers, policy and legal experts, community leaders, and the Austin Jewish community, to sound a rallying cry to the leadership of our country that we must continue to welcome people who are seeking refuge. Hope to see you there!
