Resistbot Petition: Congress must pass the Afghan Adjustment Act!

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Congress must pass the Afghan Adjustment Act!

95 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

I’m writing to express concern about the tens of thousands of Afghans arriving in the U.S. They need a pathway to real and lasting safety. Most Afghans are arriving or will soon be arriving with humanitarian parole, which only temporarily allows people fleeing danger to remain in the U.S. These Afghans will need to find another pathway to safety once their parole expires. Currently, the pathway available to them is asylum, a paperwork-intensive process with years-long backlogs that have prevented thousands of people from finding safety in the U.S. Even harder for the Afghans fleeing persecution in their country: a successful asylum claim requires proof that a person would face violence in their home country, the very documents that Afghans were advised to destroy when escaping the Taliban. To ensure that Afghans find real, lasting safety in the U.S., I want you to support passage of the Afghan Adjustment Act, which would allow Afghan parolees to seek legal permanent residence in the U.S. Thank you.
