A disaster is unfolding in Afghanistan as tens of thousands of people attempt to flee in fear of a return to life under a violent, repressive regime. 

People in Afghanistan are facing a humanitarian catastrophe, with women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and children at greater risk for violence and forced displacement. And after four decades of U.S. intervention and occupation, the U.S. government’s top priority must be to do everything it can to save Afghan lives. 

Right now, the United States is still planning to withdraw all troops by August 31, and it is unclear who will control the Kabul airport — a key exit point — after they depart. That means we have just days to help get as many people to safety as possible. 

As activists who oppose war and seek to build a better future, we need your help — because the louder we get, the more pressure we build: 

Tell the Biden administration to ensure humanitarian aid will be delivered to Afghans and to remove the refugee cap for Afghan refugees accepted into the United States.
