HIAS to hold rally for refugees on the Hill September 14th

Posted by Ann Corcoran on August 19, 2017

HIAS is the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, one of nine major federal refugee resettlement contractors*** working for the US State Department.

Their goal at the rally is to push for 75,000 refugees in the FY18 Presidential “determination” Trump will be submitting to Congress at about that time.  I don’t know what good a little rally will do, since I suspect the Trump Administration is close to choosing the CEILING number already.

HIAS has been the saving force for immigrant relocation for decades.  Helping with the remnants of the holocaust find a way forward in any country that would take them.  The jewish people were blessed to have the help of HIAS.   I know so many who were helped by this organization.   We owe them our thanks.
