Lives in Flight

What is JRS INSIDER?

Reported in-depth, with care, monthly.

INSIDER brings readers close to the realities of people forced to flee their homes around the world through a monthly, long form newsletter. Virtually travel with us to over 55 JRS country offices and meet those we walk alongside.  

Each month, these stories offer the opportunity for you to walk with us. Carry these people with you, share their challenges and resilience with those you know. Open your heart and mind to let the lives of those currently fleeing violence and persecution influence your decisions, your advocacy, and how you show up for your community. Step inside.
