Thank you to those who attended and supported the Afghan Support Center in Buffalo, NY. See you at the next Afghan Support Center in Anaheim, CA (Apr. 16 - Apr. 20). @USCIS, @StateDept, @State_SCA, @HHSGov ORR, @CivilRights, @SocialSecurity.
Transgender Afghans face dire threats today in Afghanistan and abroad, as recent reports by @hrw and @CBSNews have shown. The @EvacOurAllies Coalition stands with them, demanding urgent action to ensure their safety, dignity, and protection.

Congress, the time to act is NOW. Afghan allies are in danger, and we must provide them with the protection they need. Congress must reauthorize the Afghan SIV program without delay! #FinishTheMission Take action now! bit.ly/SIVs4Afghans
Congress, we cannot turn our backs on those who stood by us in Afghanistan. @SpeakerJohnson, @SenSchumer, @LeaderMcConnell, @RepJeffries must support the authorization of additional visas in the Afghan SIV program to ensure our allies' safety. Act now! bit.ly/SIVs4Afghans
🚨 @RepMcCaul @HouseForeignGOP was correct in saying that the SIV program is “vitally important.” Congress must provide a lifeline to our Afghan allies by continuing to support the SIV program and authorizing add’l visas in the FY24 funding bills.
TODAY! We are at the @USCIS Afghan Support Center with @wartimeallies, @GlobalRefuge, @humanrights1st, @AILANational, providing tangible support to some of our newest Afghan neighbors. Visit us this week in Syracuse, NY! Learn more here: centersforafghansupport.org/location/syrac…
Nowruz Mubarak to all celebrating! As we welcome the new year, @EvacOurAllies remains committed to supporting and protecting our #AfghanAllies. May this Nowruz bring hope and brighter days ahead for those seeking safety and refuge.

Today on #InternationalDayToCombatIslamophobia a reminder that Islamophobia has no place in our world.
On #InternationalDayToCombatIslamophobia, we stand in solidarity with all our Afghan allies facing the untold weight of anti-Muslim racism and discrimination, from India to the United States. We must continue to uphold our principles of acceptance, understanding, and empathy.
Today is the International Day to Combat #Islamophobia, a designation only made in 2022 — which says a lot. Our predominantly Muslim Afghan-American community continues to feel the impact of Anti-Muslim hate. A 🧵 offering a primer on the issue and how you can help confront it:
We have an obligation to the Afghan allies and their families who aided us during 20 years of war. Cutting back on the number of visas available to them sends a message to the world: just because you stand by us doesn’t mean we’ll stand by you. apnews.com/article/afghan…
For two decades, the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan relied on trusted Afghan allies who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with American troops. We promised to protect them—just as they did for us. But now, they are at grave risk as the Taliban continue to hunt for them.
Scoop: In a letter to Schumer & McConnell, a bipartisan group of senators are urging that more visas are made available to Afghans who worked alongside U.S. in America’s longest war before a crucial pathway to safety in the United States abruptly closes. apnews.com/article/53c9f4…

Today, I spoke on the Senate floor to call on my colleagues to pass my bipartisan amendment to the security package to provide our Afghan allies more legal certainty as they seek refuge in the United States.
Call your senators TODAY and ask them to support the #AfghanAllies Amendment to ensure Afghans who are here temporarily can access lasting safety in the U.S.! 🚨 globalrefuge.org/AfghanAllies
We urge @SenSchumer and @LeaderMcConnell to include the "Fulfilling Promises to #AfghanAllies" amendment in the foreign aid supplemental bill and call on all senators to step up in support of these bipartisan provisions.
For over 20 years our allies stood by our side in #Afghanistan. RIGHT NOW we have a chance to stand by them! Please urge @SenSchumer & @LeaderMcConnell to include the #AfghanAllies amendment in the foreign aid supplemental. bit.ly/Afghan-Allies
