53] – HIAS [info@hias.org] is hosting a conversation with Jacob Soboroff and Sue Kenney-Pfalzer, HIAS Director for the Border and Asylum Network, entitled Family Separation, Three Years On, on Thurs., Jan. 28 from noon to 1 PM ET. In the summer of 2018, between 3,000 and 4,000 children were forcibly taken from their parents as a result of the Trump Administration’s “zero tolerance” policy against those seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. Years later, hundreds of families still remain separated, and some parents may never see their children again. Even families who have been reunited suffer from ongoing legal issues, as well as the psychological distress caused by the ordeal. And although the policy of zero tolerance is no longer in effect and rates have decreased, these separations do still occur due to the U.S.’ widespread use of detention. RSVP at https://www.hias.org/get-involved/events/family-separation-three-years.

55] – Check out A Life Exposed: Military Invasions of Palestinian Homes in the West Bank on Thurs., Jan. 28 from 1to 3 PM ET, featuring Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI),Yesh Din – Volunteers for Human Rights, and Breaking the Silence. For many of us, home is a place of safety. When our doors are closed, no one can enter our private space without our permission. Yet as night falls in the West Bank, Palestinians living under occupation are vulnerable to arbitrary invasion of their homes by Israeli security forces. A new report by three premier Israeli human rights organizations, A Life Exposed Military Invasions of Palestinian Homes in the West Bank, documents the pervasive practice of home invasions by Israeli security forces and the severe harm it causes to Palestinian families impacted by it. These groups and other allies in the field have succeeded in putting this issue on the public agenda in Israel through public events and campaigns. Join an interactive virtual program with the report’s authors and examine the practice of home invasions, how it functions as part of a broader system of control over the Palestinian population living under occupation, and the severe harm it causes to those whom it impacts and on those who carry it out. The virtual program will include special appearances by spoken word artist Yossi Tsabari and others, a central panel including report authors and executive directors: Ran Goldstein, Avner Gvaryahu and Ziv Stahl, and breakout rooms with a wide array of related topics and speakers including the psychological impact on families, fighting this practice in court, and the methodology of collecting testimonies when a home invasion has taken place.
