John,
America’s perpetual war in Afghanistan is finally drawing to a close.
With the Taliban taking power, many Afghans are in desperate need of
refuge.
Today’s attack on the airport and the killing of U.S. service members
underscores why we must act aggressively to ensure all Americans and
Afghans are safe.
We cannot betray and abandon the people of Afghanistan who put their trust
in us.
People like interpreters, women’s rights activists, human rights
advocates, and other U.S. allies in Afghanistan that are now in hiding
because they and their family’s lives are in danger.
They thought they were building a new and better Afghanistan and we cannot
abandon them.
With more than 80,000 people already evacuated, the Biden administration
is making great progress. We must continue until every person that needs
political asylum has it.

Afghans eligible for Special Immigrant Visas.

We bear responsibility for the situation in Afghanistan.
This is a huge humanitarian crisis, and the United States has a clear
ethical and moral obligation to take in Afghans whose lives are now in
danger because of our nation’s actions.
Afghans who spoke out against the Taliban and believed that they would be
protected if they did need political asylum, no questions asked.
The United States flooded the region with weapons, dropped thousands of
bombs, took the lives of Afghans and U.S soldiers, and now we are leaving
the country with the Taliban more heavily armed and more powerful than
when we arrived.
After twenty years of war, it is our responsibility to make sure that
Afghan refugees have somewhere safe to go.

Washington to act. Tell President Biden to grant political asylum to all
Afghans and speed up the evacuation of Afghans eligible for Special
Immigrant Visas.
