Nature Center, 11201 Garrison Forest Road, Owings Mills 21117. Tickets are at explorenature.doubleknot.com.

season! Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/1163565977367080/?event_time_id=1163565990700412.
25] – On
Tues., March 17 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, come out to support 40 Years of the
US Refugee Act, hosted by CWS at 1st St. NE & Constitution Ave.
Near the corner of Constitution and 1st NE Faith leaders, refugee agencies,
business leaders, and community partners who support refugees will gather to
recognize and celebrate the enormous success of the refugee program over the
last forty years. Honor the success and
resilience of refugees and asylees in the U.S., and hear from speakers will
also address how the Trump administration is violating the spirit of the
Refugee Act of 1980 and our nation’s history by grinding refugee resettlement
and asylum programs to a near halt.
This
Press Conference and Rally will Celebrate the Successes of Refugees and Asylees
on the 40th Anniversary of the Refugee Act of 1980. Through banning refugees from certain
countries, attempting to end pathways for family reunification, trying to allow
states and localities to veto refugee resettlement, cutting resettlement
numbers by more than 80% and turning away asylum seekers with the Remain in Mexico
policy this administration is trying to do away with the Refugee Act of
1980. Advocates will ask Congress and
the Trump administration to stop its attack on refugees by honoring the Refugee
Act of 1980 and restoring resettlement to historic norms of 95,000 per year,
which is just ⅓ of 1 percent of the world’s nearly 26 million refugees. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/557738548168947/.
