This week, hundreds of advocates across the country met with their members of Congress in home states and urged them to #ProtectNewcomers. We know that #AdvocacyWorks, and we are calling on Congress to strengthen protections for people seeking safety and to uphold our nation’s tradition of welcoming newcomers. Here are some of the policies we are advocating for 👉🏾 -- #AdvocacyDays24 #WeAreAllAmerica #NewAmericansWelcome

3 years after the U.S. withdrawal, Afghans face an ongoing humanitarian and displacement crisis. Our work is nowhere near done. We #StandWithAfghans & call on our elected officials to do the same. #3YearsTooLong Read Refugee Congress' Statement: https://lnkd.in/eB5HRSAq

This week marks three years since the Taliban takeover of #Afghanistan. Since 2021, more than 80,000 at-risk Afghans have been relocated to the U.S.— but for many of them, there is still no pathway to permanent citizenship. Global Refuge is working to support and integrate recently arrived Afghans and continues advocating for those left behind. But there is still more work to be done. We celebrate those who have been able to come to the U.S. for safety and we continue our call for elected officials to support tangible solutions for our #AfghanAllies, including the passage of the #AfghanAdjustmentAct upon return from August recess. 📣 Learn more: https://bit.ly/4cfXZIg 📣 Call on your reps to support the Afghan Adjustment Act: https://bit.ly/4cfXZIg #Advocate4Afghans #ThreeYearsTooLong

3 years after being evacuated to the U.S., our newest Afghan-American neighbors are still in legal limbo without a clear path to permanent status. #ThisIsHome for them now. #AfghanAdjustment is overdue. #3YearsTooLong #advocacyworks @evacuateourallies @WeAreAllAmerica
