 John, 

Today, the U.S. House and Senate announced the introduction of the
Afghan Adjustment Act - a bill which would give tens of thousands of
Afghan allies already in the United States a clear pathway to permanent
residence.  

After nearly one year of living in limbo after evacuating from
Afghanistan, Afghan evacuees and our allies deserve a clear pathway to
stability. Many Afghan evacuees have been able to temporarily reside in
the U.S. via humanitarian parole and/or Temporary Protected Status, yet
most lack a viable path to permanent legal status and face uncertain
futures in the U.S. 

The introduction of the Afghan Adjustment Act demonstrates that
significant progress is being made to provide Afghan allies, evacuees,
and their families the permanency and stability they deserve - and
now, we must keep up the pressure and continue our advocacy to urge
Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act and resolve the long-term
status of Afghan evacuees.

Here are 3 things you can do right now: 

* RSVP and mark your calendars
to join us for our
Facebook Live at
3 PM Eastern Time on Monday, August 15th to learn more about what's in
the legislation, how it would help, and what comes next. We'll be
joined by experts from Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service(LIRS)
, World Relief, the
American Immigration Council
and more. 

* Contact your members of Congress and urge them to pass the Afghan
Adjustment Act and help our Afghan allies and evacuees.
 

* Click here to forward this e-mail to 3 friends and encourage them to
do the same.
 

Together, we can work to advocate on behalf of evacuees building new
lives in America - contributing to our communities, sending their
children to school, getting to know their new neighbors - amidst
seemingly endless uncertainty.  

Thanks for all you do,  

Becka Wall 
Vice President of Digital Communications
