Campaign Focus

Through the JRS Action Network, concerned individuals such as yourself are invited to support our mission by advocating, educating, and serving in your local communities, so we may effect global social change. As a member of the JRS Action Network, you will be linked in to JRS/USA's nationwide network of advocates through specially tailored emails, conference calls and special events. Whether you are an individual or are representing a school or parish, this is your chance to raise your voice for refugees and displaced people worldwide. If you are a member of a school or parish, you may also request a visit by a representative of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA to share more about how we accompany refugees and forced migrants around the world.

(Sacramento) November 3, 2011 — The curtain rises tonight on Sacramento Jesuit High School's production Imago Dei: Journeys of Courage, Hope & Home. Jesuit Refugee Service/USA hopes the play will allow audiences to 'stand in the shoes' of forcibly displaced people and refugees to gain a deeper understanding of what life is like for them. 

For a sneak peek behind the scenes of the new drama, written and produced by Jesuit High School students in Sacramento, watch the videos below. Imago Dei: Journeys of Courage, Hope & Home is about the experiences of refugees and the forcibly displaced and based on Jesuit Refugee Service's 30 years of accompaniment, service and advocacy on behalf of refugees.
