Jewish communities are going to need to step up and provide funding for families that need to move either to blue states or out of the country entirely.
We cannot let these whackadoodle republican nutjobs take away Jewish families' freedom to decide their own children's healthcare, practice our own faith without christian interference, and save the lives of countless Jewish youth who will kill themselves rather than live the fake lives christians are imposing on them.
This funding can be collected via local federation offices, synagogues, local chapters of Jewish organizations, and other Jewish nonprofits. I would like to see the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society take the lead on this, but the local communities should not wait.
We need to do this now, while we still can.

Reach out to your community. Organize. Plan. Give. Act. Don't wait until it's too late.

ICYMI: Refugee Council USA (a coalition of #refugee support and resettlement organizations) statement.
https://rcusa.org/news-and-media/here-we-stand-an-open-letter-to-national-state-and-local-leaders/
Friends: #Refugees have been quite literally left out in the cold by the administration's cruel 1/24 order stopping any work on their behalf. These are people who were forced to leave their home country, then wait in another country while the US fully vetted them and processed their application, a process that could take two years or more.
Suddenly (in many cases, only days after their arrival) leaving families without food, shelter, language assistance, job counseling, or other support is an abomination and a betrayal of the highest order.
But you can help. Please consider a donation to the Refugee Program of the #Jewish Family & Children Service, or to the refugee #resettlement agency of your choice (such as #HIAS). Thank you!
Please boost this message so that others are given the opportunity to show our new neighbors that Americans can be welcoming and generous.

That's all without even mentioning the devastating effects on the dedicated resettlement professionals all over the country—working long hours for low pay—whose source of income is now in jeopardy. But worse, they are now required to sit and watch as the families (many with small children and elderly adults) they've been caring for are put in imminent danger of #homelessness and #foodInsecurity.
HOW TO HELP: call your representative in Congress and the Senate. Right now. Tell them that you cannot tolerate this cruelty. Then call your state's refugee coordinator's office and ask them to do what they can to support refugees in your state.
And again, please consider supporting #HIAS and your local #refugee #resettlement agencies directly. https://hias.org/donate
OK well #CNN has the story, so I can talk about this now.
The administration has ordered all #refugee #resettlement work in the country to stop immediately. A refugee family that arrived on Thursday and was placed into a hotel until longer term housing could be identified would today, Saturday, be homeless.
I remind everyone that refugees are not here "illegally". They've gone through a years-long process of application and vetting that resulted in their admittance to this country. As part of that process, the US agrees to provide support and assistance when they first arrive—help that has now been prematurely terminated, in violation of our commitments.
Expect this cruel and illegal action to be challenged in court as early as Monday. Please support #HIAS or your local resettlement agency so they can continue their critically important work.
