There are 15K Americans trapped in #Afghanistan. Some are reaching the airport for evac but it is unclear how many the Taliban will allow through.
Dual citizens are the most at risk.
Those outside Kabul have no real option.
Pray for them. And call your congressman.
From @WSJOpinion: The U.S. legacy in Afghanistan cannot be that we abandoned its people, particularly women and girls, because we became weary. We must stand with the women of Afghanistan, now more than ever, writes Charity Wallace. https://t.co/s9FmJ185OD
The kind of heroism that simply takes your breath away. I asked teacher and women’s rights activist @BarakPashtana if she’d considered fleeing after the Taliban takeover. Listen to her answer.
#ZarifaGhafari embodies all of the progress made in Afghanistan over the past 20 years. “Female mayor in Afghanistan says she's waiting for Taliban to 'come ... and kill me'” https://t.co/2qkfj2IjK9
We need your help to save the lives of Afghan women. Every day, the #Taliban is gaining ground, assassinating women leaders, attacking girls at school & rolling back women's rights. Here are 3 donations you or your organization can make now. #Afghanistan https://t.co/xmq8s7VJfQ
Thinking about what Afghanistan’s Zarifa Ghafari said in March 2020, when she was honored as a @StateDept International Woman of Courage - “Women of my generation have not forgotten the reign of the Taliban and we are as always worried for the future.” https://t.co/MVD1hjqoZZ
