Dear John,
This year, the American Immigration Council was a leader in advocating for one of the most vulnerable groups of people—our Afghan allies and those forced to flee their homes as the Taliban took over.
In the time since U.S. troops withdrew from Afghanistan, Afghans have needed support navigating our complex immigration system, gaining status, and finding employment and housing.
We’re proud to offer that support so Afghans can safely come to the U.S. and start building their lives here. Your gift will keep these efforts going.
This year, we have:
- Trained and matched volunteer attorneys and interpreters with Afghans to help prepare their asylum applications. From here, they can obtain employment and later apply for permanent status.
- Filed a lawsuit to force U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to explain why there are massive delays in processing Afghans’ humanitarian parole applications.
- Advocated for the introduction of the Afghan Adjustment Act alongside the Evacuate Our Allies coalition, participated in congressional briefings, and continue to advocate for policies to support Afghans evacuees.
- Worked with Colorado Governor Polis to write and send a letter to Congress on the importance of passing the Afghan Adjustment Act.
This work is only possible with your support. Please consider making a gift to help us continue these efforts in 2023.
Sincerely
Jeremy Robbins
Executive Director
