In a time of unprecedented displacement of people worldwide, protections in the United States for individuals fleeing persecution are under attack.
The August Congressional recess is the last major window of opportunity to meet with your members of Congress before the federal fiscal year ends in September. Now is a critical time to urge them to invest in sustainable migration solutions and protect the rights of asylum seekers.
Join us on July 20 at 6:00 p.m. EDT to learn how your advocacy can help ensure that U.S. laws honor the dignity of asylum seekers.
| Who should attend: All advocates are welcome to attend, but this training is specifically designed for constituents in Alabama, Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Texas, and Washington. |
