This is an unprecedented intensification of decades of systematic oppression by the Israeli state in the form of blockades, border walls, and an apartheid system which views Palestinian lives as inferior.

The Afghan American Artists and Writers Association (@aaawa_art) stands in solidarity with Palestinians as they struggle for liberation from occupation and over 70 years of settler colonialism. We are deeply concerned about the genocide unfolding in Gaza over the last 145 days.

UPDATE: 1 of 9 Afghan families @aaawa_art supported with #HumanitarianParole applications was granted conditional approval! We’re shocked-the review & approval rate of these applications has been dismal @reveal.

We’re now raising $$ for their entry fees: https://t.co/s7DkHiySP3

We have started a fundraiser for specific asks of covering their medical exams, exit permit fees, and initial arrival and resettlement costs. Please give what you can if you’re able and also feel free to share the page widely: https://t.co/s7DkHiySP3

The administration is asking the public what we think about this rule and will consider our comments before issuing the final version. Please add your voice by 11:59pm ET today (3/27) to tell them how this rule will harm asylum seekers. https://t.co/oHjPpDozpS
