Join us for an important discussion on what a new administration means for refugees’ and asylees’ rights in the United States. We will be joined by Russ Agdern, Grassroots Campaign Manager at HIAS who will share more about the work HIAS has been doing to greet the new 117th Congress and move forward a just and equitable policy agenda. We will also have the opportunity to hear from BJ’s Refugee and Immigration Committee leaders on the work they have continued during the pandemic to support recent refugee and asylum seekers and their families and learn how you can get involved.
