    Chief Executive Officer at Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area

    Throughout my 20-year career, I’ve visited many formal and informal refugee camps, where people live in limbo, sometimes, for generations. In many cases, going home equates a death sentence, but the country in which they are living doesn’t allow them to live and work. They often depend on rations of rice and beans, their children educated by non profits with limited resources, and their worlds restricted to the boundaries of the camp. The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) has traditionally provided a lifeline for these individuals, but the need is so great- the United Nations Refugee Agency estimates there are 117.3 million forcibly displaced persons globally, 43 million of whom are refugees, only 1% of who are resettled a year. Organizations like Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA) have partnered with the U.S. government since 1980, when The Refugee Act was signed by President Jimmy Carter, to provide services aimed at supporting refugees arriving through USRAP with transitioning to their new communities. Lutherans, and other communities of faith, were natural partners of the U.S. government, as they had been welcoming immigrants arriving to Ellis Island, seeking religious freedom for years. Now, USRAP, which had been supported and upheld as a shining example of democracy by Democratic and Republican Administrations alike, is at risk, with the U.S. State Department’s termination of cooperative agreements and funds to nonprofits for services rendered frozen. This leaves refugees around the globe in unsafe and uncertain situations, prolongs family separations, and leaves recently resettled refugees without a safety net. Join us on this 45th anniversary of The Refugee Act in contacting your elected officials to share why you support the work of welcome and believe USRAP should continue its life-saving work and that any efforts to further restrict access create harm. Contact your representative and demand the resumption of USRAP. https://lnkd.in/da8KKBMV Donate to support newly arrived refugees with housing, job training, and essentials. https://lssnca.org/donate/ #RefugeesWelcome

    45 years ago today, President Jimmy Carter signed the bipartisan Refugee Act of 1980, establishing the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and asylum systems. Since then, millions have found safety, opportunity, and a home in the U.S. Thanks to this law, lives have been transformed—families reunited, dreams realized, and communities enriched. We've seen firsthand the profound impact of resettlement. People like Dieu, who fled the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, spent his childhood in a refugee camp, and is now pursuing his dream of becoming a pilot in the U.S. And LSSNCA COO Mamadou, who spent 11 years in a refugee camp before resettling here, is now helping others achieve the same. But our legacy of welcome is at risk. The US Refugee Admissions Program is suspended, and resettlement funds are being slashed. We need your voice and action. ? Contact your representative and demand the resumption of USRAP. https://lnkd.in/da8KKBMV ? Donate to support newly arrived refugees with housing, job training, and essentials. https://lssnca.org/donate/ For 45 years, America has been a beacon of hope. Let’s continue this legacy of welcome. #RefugeesWelcome #USRAP #LSSNCA #SupportRefugees

    This week has been the hardest of my life, imagining that we wouldn’t be able to provide this vital service to our clients, all unaccompanied children in our state. I am relieved that we can get back to work, and I pray the contract is renewed next month. This work is important. Our clients are important and deserve representation.

    The administration has rescinded HHS’s stop-work order, restoring vital legal services for unaccompanied children for now. This decision ensures that vulnerable children, some as young as toddlers, continue to receive critical protections against trafficking, exploitation, and abuse. But this fight isn’t over. We urge the administration to uphold its commitment by exercising the final year of this contract, set to renew next month. Read our full statement: https://lnkd.in/ezuPpcuR

    My incredible colleagues at the National Immigration Law Center recently published this?FAQ resource for Education Providers. It provides guidance for education providers on supporting immigrant students and families and understanding their rights in the face of immigration enforcement. Given the challenges many students and families face, ensuring that education providers are informed about these protections is more critical than ever. https://lnkd.in/ew-GkNxw

    ALERT: VAWA, U and T visa programs have NOT been cancelled or terminated! A recent federal announcement of policy changes has been circulating around social media, but it does not cancel or terminate the VAWA, U visa, and T visa programs. ?? These programs were created by Congress to help survivors who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and/or other serious crimes. ?? Congress wrote these protections into law and only Congress can change them. ?? If you or someone you know might qualify for these protections, speak with a local qualified attorney. Free and low-cost legal help is available at https://lnkd.in/e-iudUjx ?? If you have applied for these programs, consider keeping all your important paperwork in a safe place and carrying copies with you at all times.

    ?? A federal judge has blocked President Trump’s executive order suspending refugee admissions, marking a critical step toward restoring the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. We appreciate the work International Refugee Assistance Project HIAS and Lutheran Community Services Northwest did to achieve this. Our nation has a long history of welcoming those seeking safety and opportunity, and while the road ahead will be challenging, this decision reaffirms our commitment to upholding those values. This victory is a testament to the countless advocates, organizations, and communities who continue to fight for refugee resettlement. #TogetherWeRise #RefugeesBelong

    ??JUST IN: A reported ICE memo directs agents to fast-track removal proceedings for thousands of unaccompanied children and to expedite deportations for those with final orders. Legal services are essential to ensure due process, safeguard these vulnerable children, and protect them from trafficking, exploitation, and other threats. The government must guarantee legal representation as required by law. Read KIND's statement: https://lnkd.in/eKFSekth Link to article: https://lnkd.in/epHH2QRm
