What’s happening in Afghanistan right now is heartbreaking. The refugee resettlement infrastructure is a shadow of what it was because President Trump completely gutted the system. Right now, we are being put to the test: will we do right by those we promised to protect? From our border to Afghanistan and beyond--we have a chance to change course and live up to the values of compassion and dignity.

You are proof that there is an overwhelming number of people in the U.S. ready to welcome Afghans in a way that is humane, just, and dignified. But we need President Biden to do what it takes to get Afghans to safety and the protection we promised them. Thousands of families fought for a better future and stood by us and we must do right by them.

Send a letter to your members of congress today demanding the immediate evacuation of women, civil society activists, human rights defenders, LGBTQ+, religious and ethnic minorities, and other vulnerable groups from Afghanistan.
