Add your name to ensure safety for those who fled Afghanistan

[SIGN NOW TO JOIN AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AND HELP ENSURE SAFETY FOR AFGHAN REFUGEES >>]( [SIGN TODAY]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend - The fate of thousands of refugees who fled Afghanistan hangs in the balance. Right now, the situation in Afghanistan remains grim. Food shortages, plummeting temperatures, and crackdowns by the Taliban threaten the very existence of those who remain. This is not a safe country to return to. But if we don’t act now, refugees who left everything behind to find safety could be forcibly returned. This horrifying reality can be avoided if Congress and the President pass the Afghan Adjustment Act. [Please add your name now to our letter urging our government to make good on its commitments to human rights and justice for Afghan refugees. Your signature will help protect the lives and well-being of Afghan refugees by urging Congress and President Biden to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( The re-establishment of Taliban rule over Afghanistan is fueling an ongoing human rights crisis, with reports of systematic violations of the rights of women, girls, and members of the LGBTQI+ community, among others. On top of that, millions of people in Afghanistan are suffering from food insecurity — without significant relief, over a million children could die of starvation. We need your help now to ensure refugees who fled for safety are not forcibly returned to such a dangerous place. [Add your name now to urge Congress and the President to do more to help Afghan refugees who face a dire future if they are forced to return to Afghanistan.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( Passing the Afghan Adjustment Act would: - Immediately halt any and all deportations to Afghanistan and designate Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status, so that Afghans cannot be sent back to a dangerous situation - Establish a roadmap to citizenship for Afghans seeking safety in the United States - Promote and expand community sponsorship to empower people across the country to directly welcome and support our new Afghan neighbors Thousands of Afghan refugees are in a state of complete uncertainty. If the U.S. wants to show its promises to the Afghan people were more than just hollow press statements and speeches, it should take action by passing this Act. [We need your voice now to urge our government to build an immigration system based on humanity, compassion, fairness, and respect. Sign now and help give safety and security to Afghan refugees before they’re forcibly returned to Afghanistan.]( [SIGN ON]( Your voice will support the high-level lobbying and advocacy Amnesty International and its partners are doing behind the scenes. We must provide a safe haven for the thousands of human rights defenders, academics, journalists, and marginalized people who are most at risk if they’re forced to return. Friend, time is running short to pressure the U.S. to grant safety and protections to Afghan refugees who fled an untenable situation. [Please, sign your name now to bolster our efforts to prevent our government from forcing Afghan refugees to return to an incredibly dangerous place.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( From our member leaders to our researchers to our campaigners, there’s a mammoth effort going on behind the scenes to protect Afghan refugees and help those who remain.
