Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted the 77th in a series of online briefings for faith leaders. Today's briefing featured presentations by International Rescue Committee (IRC) Northern California Development Director Michael Magnaye, The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) Public Affairs Managing Director Darcy Hirsh, and Jewish Family and Children's Services (JFCS) Immigration Attorney and Director of Legal Services Brett Snider. Their presentations encompassed a discussion of the Ukrainian refugee crisis, the critical work taking place and what the future may hold. The presenters shared information concerning what refugees fleeing Ukraine are experiencing, ongoing humanitarian aid efforts, current options for refugees
to navigate their way to the United States, and local community support that will be increasingly needed. Potential areas for advocacy and direct action were also discussed. Responding to these leaders in the Ukrainian refugee resettlement effort and moderating questions was Daniller Consulting Public Affairs Founder and President Gia Daniller-Katz. Jewish Family and Children's Services San Francisco Bay Area Executive Director
Dr. Anita Friedman offered the opening Reflective Moment.
Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas and SFIC Board Chair Nancy Nielsen. Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and Enceladus Event Production and Consulting team Tre Russell Allen.
