Mar 11, 2021 marks the anniversary of COVID-19 being declared a pandemic by the WHO, as well as the implementation of many “stay at home” orders in the US and worldwide. Join AFSC staff as we reflect on the past year and what lies ahead: Pauline Muchina examines efforts to make vaccines accessible and global advocacy efforts, and Under the Mask team members Lucy Roberts and Libby Chase share resources that can help navigate misinformation campaigns and track instances of restricted freedoms masquerading as safety precautions.

Reports of anti-Asian attacks and harassment are once again on the rise, ranging from xenophobic rhetoric to physical violence. Join AFSC’s Joan Marshall-Missiye, Mary Zerkel, and Joelle Lingat for a conversation about what is happening in our communities, what has been fueling the uptick in racist hate, and what we can do to intervene.

Join us on Facebook Live every Thursday at 4pm ET for updates from AFSC staff.

Every person without permanent immigration status deserves a lasting solution to keep families and communities together.

But today, there are about 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. without a viable pathway to permanent residency and citizenship. They provide emotional and financial support to loved ones; shoulder responsibilities in schools, churches, local businesses, and civic organizations; and are vital members of our communities. Two-thirds have lived in the U.S. for over a decade.
