We support Afghan refugees

America must welcome Afghans fleeing the humanitarian crisis we helped create. Let's support them to create a new life with the resources they need to thrive.

Why is this important?

Thousands have evacuated from Afghanistan and are now looking to make a new life in the U.S. They came with few possessions and need support from the government as they resettle.

The U.S. has a responsibility to welcome as many people as possible, since we contributed to the humanitarian crisis with our 20 year military occupation. This includes waiving the $575 humanitarian parole application fee, adding Afghanistan to the Temporary Protected Status program, giving unaccompanied minors immediate parole status, and ensuring resettlement agencies have the funds they need to support the increased number of refugees.

Sign now to demonstrate the public supports welcoming Afghan refugees and ask President Biden to act.
