Dear friends and colleagues,

​

We are in dark days.  Days when we really do not know what is going to happen next.  All we do know is that people we love and institutions and organizations that we partner with are, under attack and are losing their funding.  

​​​

Executive orders, and freezing of funds have put our refugee, im/migrant, and asylee community members in danger. Reproductive rights hang in the balance, as do the rights of undocumented workers, asylees, and im/migrants.

 

VLJP’s mission to ensure  that all communities have access to the factual information they need to protect themselves and their families still very firmly stands.   To date we now have video information on  "know your rights" in video format in English, Dari, Pashto, Swahili, Tigrinya, Ukrainian, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, French, Haitian Kreyol and Arabic .  We are open to discussing any new videos that need to be made to get crucial information out to folks that need them.  Please be in touch. 

​

So, we continue to rally our partners, supporters, and allies – in short, you – to help us find new sources of funding, so we can make sure speakers of languages other than English have the information they need to make informed decisions about how to best protect themselves and their families. 

​

In solidarity and with gratitude,

Alison, Olivia, and Dani
