Afghans can’t wait
We want to see an end to the suffering and pain Afghans are experiencing because of the actions of the United States government. America owes our people a debt and we are eager to see repaid.
Our Demands
Offer Refuge to Afghans
The backlog of Afghans seeking safety in the United States is massive. Yet, there are no viable pathways to this country. Providing a legal route to asylum for Afghans in danger is critical.
Protect vulnerable Afghans
The United States policy of economic strangulation of Afghanistan hurts the most vulnerable, contributing to 30 million Afghans going hungry. The U.S. must deliver aid, unfreeze Afghan assets and remove sanctions that punish the collective population.
Give Afghans a seat at the table
For decades, policy impacting Afghans has been made without our participation. Before decisions are made about us, Afghans – especially women and other marginalized Afghans – must be part of the decision making.
Divest and invest
Afghans managing to enter the U.S. face detention, policing and surveillance. Divesting in this kind of militarization in favor of investing in support services for Afghans will mean the difference between surviving and thriving as a community.
We can’t do this work without your support.
With collective action, we can achieve our demands. We hope you’ll join us.
I thank God for Afghans For A Better Tomorrow. They showed up for my wife, my four children and me to ensure we received winter clothes to keep us warm. I am so grateful for the support and aid we received.”
