You are invited to join civil society organizations, faith-based organizations, veterans’ groups, philanthropists, and other leaders who care deeply that the United States delivers on its promise to provide safety and security to Afghans who have stood alongside us for the past twenty years by calling on the Biden Administration, working closely with Congress, to take immediate action to avoid more broken promises by paroling Afghan evacuees into the United States within the next 30 days. It is imperative that we raise our voices urgently, as we understand that the interagency is actively debating proposals that could prevent Afghans from accessing the United States for some time.
Our allies are exhausted and traumatized, and many are separated from family and friends who are anxiously waiting to welcome them. We cannot further abandon them by leaving them in limbo abroad, at risk of having to wait for years to enter the United States—or, worse, be returned to Afghanistan.
