Tell Congress to Swiftly Pass the Afghan Adjustment Act

From Church World Service (http://www.churchworldservice.org):

Following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, more than 75,000 at-risk Afghans were welcomed into the United States via “humanitarian parole,” a temporary immigration status typically only granted for 1 or 2 years to provide safety for people under threat. Given the temporary nature of parole, tens of thousands of the relocated Afghan men, women, and children resettled in the U.S. have been navigating complex legal issues to find lasting protection in the U.S.

On August 9th, CWS celebrated the bicameral introduction of the Afghan Adjustment Act, bipartisan legislation that provides a roadmap to permanent status for Afghans and ensure they can apply to become lawful permanent residents.

Now it’s an important time. We urge Members of Congress to swiftly pass this legislation in September when they return from the congressional recess period, so Afghans have a permanent path forward as they build lives in safety in the United States. Join us in urging Congress to take action!

Here are the top ways to take action:

• Contact your Members of Congress: Go to https://cwsglobal.org/action-alerts/take-action-urge-congress-to-swiftly-pass-the-bipartisan-afghan-adjustment-act/ to urge Congress to swiftly pass the Bipartisan Afghan Adjustment Act.
