Ask Me Anything: What’s Happening at the Border?

Every year on June 6th we commemorate the MS St. Louis, a ship bearing refugees fleeing Nazi Germany which was turned away from the United States in 1939. Many of the passengers later perished in the Holocaust.

Join HIAS Pennsylvania for a Facebook Live Ask Me Anything, where Co-Director of Legal Services Philippe Weisz and Executive Director Cathryn Miller-Wilson will discuss what is really happening at the US-Mexico border, our responsibility as a country and community not to turn away those in need, and how you can advocate for asylum-seekers coming to the United States.
