Funding for refugee support just stopped. Families who have waited years for safety need our help now. Please consider donating or sharing. Every bit counts for those in need. https://t.co/Xsj4idfl9d
@Ladeitz1 You are so right. This is true courage. Where are the world's feminist leaders? Why aren't they visible and vocal in their protest and support of Afghan Women?
BREAKING: @DHSgov has reportedly reached a decision today to establish a re-parole process for #Afghans resettled in the US. This is a policy decision that we have consistently asked for together with our allies and partners, and we are proud to have played a leading role in making this happen for our community.

@UpwardlyGlobal We are facing a disaster if the AAA is not passed. Thousands of people are in limbo, and all the jobs they have filled will be vacated if their status expires and they lose their work permits. This will have broader impact than people realize! #IsupportAAA
@UpwardlyGlobal Afghans have already started helping our communities. They are filling critical labor shortages and contributing to a tax base. They help each other as they get settled, and have been so quick to find jobs and become self-sufficient. #IsupportAAA
@GlobalCleveland@UpwardlyGlobal There are already soooo many hurdles for them to jump. Add to that the threat of being deported when they already hear about tragic disappearances in Afghanistan daily. #ISupportAAA
@UpwardlyGlobal If we don't pass the AAA, we will be facing an administrative catastrophe. There is no way all these cases can be processed effectively. This is a ticking bomb facing the Afghan arrivals, local govts, agencies who are trying to help and the U.S. immigration service. #IsupportAAA
@UpwardlyGlobal By passing the Afghan Adjustment Act, we are letting Afghan women know they are safe from being sent to a hostile environment that amounts to an apartheid state for women. #IsupportAAA
@UpwardlyGlobal many new arrivals are educated with advanced degrees. We have jobs to be filled. If we help them find the right job, it helps our economy and raises their standard of living. We can help them find careers, not just job
@UpwardlyGlobal Right now, Afghans who are on parolee status lose all benefits when their status expires, including their work permit and drivers licenses. This will be disastrous. #ISupportAAA
@UpwardlyGlobal they are so worried about their status here, & whether accepting government benefits might impact their immigration process. Passing the AAA, there would be a clear pathway for them toward legal residency status and eventual citizenship #ISupportAAA
We are sharing a new report created with @EvacOurAllies to highlight the immense contributions of Afghan newcomers to the US economy & society. To support them, we must take swift action to help secure their right to stay in the U.S.
