After identifying gaps in the support services available to migrant families and the resulting inequities that befall them, refugee community leaders and town residents founded the Refugee Community Partnership.

More than 70 years after the Holocaust, genocide and other violent atrocities remain a threat to global peace and security. Since 2008, the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities (AIPG) has worked to build a world that resists and prevents genocide, driven by the knowledge that governments and individuals can act to save lives before, during, and after the outbreak of mass violence, but that doing so requires training, technical know-how, resources, and a commitment to action among multiple stakeholders. We pursue a world where never again are people targeted for violence and death due to their identity. AIPG’s core programming trains, equips, and empowers government officials and community leaders with the tools to confront the risk factors and warning signs of violence based on identity-- an approach that no other organization takes. Our growing network of international alumni form a global architecture that is leading nations in preventing, responding to, and recovering from identity-based violence. We also facilitate the creation of regional and international cooperation networks to promote a multilateral approach to protecting vulnerable populations, strengthening democracy, and preventing mass atrocities.

The guiding principle of American democracy, "justice for all," is universally accepted but profoundly unmet. Every year, over 100 million Americans are denied access to our civil justice system because it is too complicated, too intimidating or too expensive to use. Dedicated to the principle that all Americans should be able to handle their legal affairs simply, affordably and equitably, HALT pursues an aggressive education and advocacy program that challenges the legal establishment to improve access, reduce costs and to increase accountability in our civil justice system.
