Companions at Home
LEAD the way in inspiring your community to stand up for refugees during even as you social distance
As the global pandemic continues to impact our whole world, you can play an important role in supporting refugees. Join JRS in our work of accompanying, serving and advocating for the forcibly displaced through the following activities!
LEARN
READ
New and existing policies ignore the US’s obligation to welcome asylum seekers and put those who have been forcibly displaced and ourselves in danger. You can learn about the impact of these policies in our latest report, Stranded.
WATCH
BE sure to check the video from our June 18th event “Welcome and Protect” to learn more about asylum policy.
START A BOOK CLUB
