John,

Earlier this year, you helped make America a more welcoming place for
those fleeing violence and persecution.

Thanks in part to your advocacy, the Biden administration launched
**Uniting for Ukraine**
<[link removed]>,
an effort which relies on private sponsorship to welcome more than
100,000 Ukrainians and others escaping Russian aggression. This, along
with Temporary Protected Status for Vulnerable Ukrainians already in the
U.S., means that tens of thousands of Ukrainians have been able to
temporarily seek refuge here and won't have to put their lives at risk
by being forced to go back to a country at war.

**Support the Forum's advocacy work on behalf of vulnerable families
fleeing aggression. Will you make a year-end gift today?**

The efforts to help Ukrainians followed the 2021 evacuation of tens of
thousands of vulnerable Afghans fleeing the Taliban, including thousands
of Afghan allies who worked with U.S. forces. While Congress granted
these evacuees with refugee benefits and the Biden administration
provided them with the temporary ability to reside in the U.S. and
receive work authorization, they need a permanent solution in the form
of the Afghan Adjustment Act, which would provide them a pathway to
lawful permanent residence and eventual citizenship.

**But we need your help advancing our advocacy work on behalf of our
Afghan allies in the U.S. Will you consider making a year-end gift today
to help move legislation like the Afghan Adjustment Act forward and help
us reach our $50,000 goal?**
<[link removed]>

Unless Congress acts, evacuated Afghans have limited options. Seeking
asylum or obtaining Special Immigrant Visas both potentially could help
some Afghans obtain permanent status, but both processes are heavily
backlogged and unavailable to many who may not qualify, Congress must
act to resolve the long-term status of Afghan evacuees and provide them
a permanent solution. Without it, they face uncertainty, including
lengthy waits for asylum, and potentially even being forced into
undocumented status.

Our Afghan allies can't continue to live in a state of limbo - they
need a pathway to permanent resident status.

**I hope you will consider supporting our policy efforts to help
individuals like our Afghan allies. Make a gift today!**
