Migrant Support Symposium “Asylum: Lifeline or Limbo?”

Please join Temple Micah, HIAS, and The Davis Center for Social Justice at Temple Sinai in a discussion on migration, asylum, and justice. This program will examine two of the most significant and problematic programs along the United States-Mexico border in recent history and implore participants to consider how they can demand and support a more just asylum system in the United States. Newly-arrived immigrants from Afghanistan, Honduras, Ukraine and elsewhere all require an equitable and efficient pathway to long-term legal status. Taking a careful look at the policies governing our southern border, as well as the many ways that HIAS provides legal and asylum services to migrants in need, allows us to think about how to approach the broken immigration system we face today and how to demand better on behalf of those seeking safety at our shores.

Details: In-Person at Temple Micah (2829 Wisconsin Ave NW) or Zoom. Advance registration is required.
