A Message from RIT: Moving into 2025

As we celebrate and connect with loved ones this holiday season, we also want to recognize the sorrow and uncertainty that many are feeling as we move into 2025. Given the recent election results and the targeting of refugee and immigrant communities, RIT is working tirelessly to prepare for a tough year ahead. And we would love your support.
RIT is hoping to reach $290,000 in donations by end of year. Currently we’re at 61% of this goal. We are deeply hopeful for your support at this critical time. (And if you’ve already supported us - thank you!!! Please consider sharing about RIT with your friends and family, and asking your employer for a match :)

Sustain vital supports: RIT partners with 2,000 immigrants a year on long-term goals that help them adjust and thrive in the U.S.: education, employment, reducing social isolation & navigating the community.
Keep communities informed: ensure that RIT communities receive critical Know Your Rights information in their languages.
Build shared community: RIT’s volunteer program (650+ volunteers in the past 10 years) is experiencing a significant uptick of interest since the election - help meet the growing demand!
Raise our collective voices: ensure that the perspectives of diverse RIT communities (40+ countries of origin) are represented in decisions that affect their lives.
Converse & share: help RIT grow our public conversations and presentations to counter anti-immigrant narratives.
Keep families safe: refuel RIT's emergency relief funds for community members affected by anti-immigrant policies.
