Now or never: Tell senators to pass climate change legislation Act Now Dear Peter, We’re seeing climate change impacts all around us. The last seven years were the hottest in recorded history and people are increasingly experiencing climate-related disasters like drought and wildfires. Tell senators: We need climate action now, not later. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for senators to pass comprehensive climate change legislation. And the window of opportunity is now closing, as the upcoming midterm elections could change the balance of power in Congress. We need legislation that encourages renewable energy development, protects forests that absorb climate emissions and promotes equitable access to green spaces that will help communities endure this crisis. Urge senators: We need to act NOW! Thank you, The Wilderness Society Send a message Greg Sanders/USFWS

You’re Invited: Upcoming HIAS Events

Dear RJ,

In the coming weeks, we will join together to mark a number of days of reflection, pride, and celebration: from World Refugee Day to Indigenous People’s day, and Pride month to Juneteenth. Each of these days reminds us to reflect on the challenges that we have collectively overcome, and to work for a better future. Join us for four programs this month that highlight the ways the U.S. has historically led the world in welcoming those seeking safety, how we have struggled to live up to this title in recent years, and how we can improve our systems and structures to better embody this value in the years to come. These virtual events will include a webinar outlining the tangible steps you can take to welcome Ukrainian newcomers; a program about the U.S. refugee resettlement program; a virtual book club discussion; and a webinar with firsthand accounts from the U.S.-Mexico border.

Please join us.

Uniting for Ukraine: Sponsoring Ukrainian Newcomers
May 23, 2022 | Monday | 4:00pm ET

Join us to learn more about the different avenues for support for Ukrainians entering the U.S. that HIAS is designing, in partnership with other national Jewish and refugee agencies. We will share details about HIAS Welcome Circles for Ukrainians, the ways that Jewish Federations, JCRCs, and social service agencies are engaging with Ukrainians, and how individuals, synagogues, and other Jewish communal groups can play key roles.

Advance registration required. Please click here to RSVP.

Refugee Resettlement in the U.S.
June 2, 2022 | Thursday | 4:00pm ET

Since the Refugee Act of 1980, the U.S. Refugee Resettlement program has been a lifeline to people in need from every corner of the world. In some years, more than half of the refugees resettled worldwide were welcomed to the U.S. through this program. Join us for a conversation with resettlement professionals and private sponsorship volunteers to hear what’s been changing on the front lines of the refugee response, and what you can do to help.

Advance registration required. Please click here to RSVP.

HIAS Book and Film Club
June 10, 2022 | Friday | 12:00pm ET

Join us for a facilitated session of the HIAS Book and Film Club to discuss the book Refugee High: Coming of Age in America by Elly Fishman. This book follows the 2017–18 school year at Sullivan High, a Chicago high school that has one of the highest proportions of refugees of any school in the nation. It chronicles students, teachers, and administrators navigating everyday challenges facing many urban schools and teenagers as well as the complicated circumstances and unique education needs of refugee and immigrant children.

Advance registration required. Please click here to RSVP and for information on where to purchase the book.

Stories from the Border: June 2022
June 28, 2022 | Tuesday | 4:00pm ET

The Biden administration announced that in May they would finally put an end to Title 42, a policy denying access to asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. But now, as opposition to lifting the policy gains momentum, we must advocate even more for the rights of those seeking safety.

Join us for a conversation with front-line legal aid providers for a firsthand account of what is happening at the border today, what they expect to see in the coming weeks, and how you can help impact national policies.

Do you recognize this young US Navy Lt.?

Subject: Do you recognize this young US Navy Lt.?

Why should his name be remembered?

Facts:

Was born on September 14, 1978, in Jacksonville, Florida.

[1] He is of Italian descent.

[2] His family moved to Orlando, Florida, before relocating to Dunedin, Florida, when he was six years old.

[3] In 1991, he was a member of the Little League team from Dunedin National that made it to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

(4] After graduating from Dunedin High School in 1997, he attended Yale University. He was captain of Yale’s varsity baseball team and joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

[5] On the Yale baseball team, he was an outfielder; as a senior in 2001, he had the team’s best batting average at .336.

[6] He graduated from Yale in 2001 with a B.A. magna cum laude in history.

[7] He then spent a year as a history teacher at the Darlington School.

[8] He attended Harvard Law School, graduating in 2005 with a Juris Doctor cum laude.

[9] He received his Reserve Naval officer’s commission and assignment to the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG) in 2004 at the U.S. Naval Reserve Center in Dallas, Texas, while still a student at Harvard Law School.

[10] He completed Naval Justice School in 2005.

[11] Later that year, he received orders to the JAG Trial Service Office Command South East at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, as a prosecutor.

[12] In 2006, he was promoted from lieutenant, junior grade to lieutenant. He worked for the commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO), working directly with detainees at the Guantanamo Bay Joint Detention Facility.

[13] In 2007, he reported to the Naval Special Warfare Command Group in Coronado, California, where he was assigned to SEAL Team One and deployed to Iraq with the troop surge as the Legal Advisor to the SEAL Commander, Special Operations Task Force-West in Fallujah.

[14] He returned to the U.S. in April 2008, at which time he was reassigned to the Naval Region Southeast Legal Service.

[15] The U.S. Department of Justice appointed him to serve as an Assistant U.S. Attorney at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of Florida.

[16] He was assigned as a trial defense counsel until his honorable discharge from active duty in February 2010.

[17] He concurrently accepted a reserve commission as a Lieutenant Commander in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps of the US Navy Reserve.

[18] He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Iraq Campaign Medal.

[19 He represented Florida’s 6th congressional district in the US House of Representatives from 2013 to 2018.

Obviously, with these qualifications, he is NOT qualified to be a Democrat, or serve in a senior political position in our nation’s capital when one considers and compares the credentials of the fine legislators shown below and, of course, too many others to mention.

Did you know there are 53 Congressional Districts in the State of California of which there are only 10 Republican Districts.

Anyone who criticizes the former Navy Lt. – please post your education and service to our country in a resume so we can compare and put your opinion in perspective?

Oh by the way, the former Navy Lt., is Ron DeSantis, Gov. of Florida
