 John, 

It’s August 2021: Kabul has fallen to the Taliban and the U.S. is withdrawing troops, leaving tens of thousands of Afghans vulnerable – including our Afghan allies who fought beside the U.S. 

76,000 Afghans were evacuated to the U.S. but weren’t given permanent residency. Most
Afghans were processed under humanitarian parole – which offers limited benefits that expire and provides no clear pathway to citizenship. 

Our team is working hard for Congress to pass legislation like the Afghan Adjustment Act to give these families a pathway to permanent residency. Will you help us in our advocacy efforts to support families fleeing aggression by making a donation today? 

This temporary status is not sustainable. Our Afghan allies are living in a state of limbo, uncertain about their
future in the U.S. Their temporary status will end in the coming months, and they are running out of time. Congress must immediately introduce and pass the Afghan Adjustment Act. This lifeline will provide a pathway to permanent status for our Afghan allies and expand the efforts to protect Afghans left behind. That’s why we need your support! 

Will you help us reach our end-of-quarter goal of $10,000 and continue our efforts to pass legislation like the Afghan Adjustment Act? 

The United States made a promise to those
who put their lives on the line. Together, we can honor that promise by continuing the efforts to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act. Our Afghan allies deserve the opportunity to continue building their lives in the United States – not to live in limbo and fear of the future. Without the passage of the Afghan Adjustment Act they risk the potential of having to return to Afghanistan, putting their lives in danger. 

We cannot do this alone. Help us reach our end-of-quarter goal! 

Thank you for your support,
