Background: After 20 years in #Afghanistan, the U.S. ended our military presence in August 2021. The Taliban quickly took over the country & rapidly eroded gains made by the Western-backed #Afghan government in the past twenty years. 82,000 #Afghans were evacuated into the U.S.
Today, we’ll hear from veterans @PeterLucier from @teamamrelief, @FQhoang from @AlliedAirlift21, Aidan Gunderson, Sgt Tyler Vargas-Andrews, and @RooftopLeader from @TForcePineapple, as well as immigration expert @cmackler from @immigrantarc.
The #AfghanAdjustmentAct is a national security bill that provides the stability our Afghan allies so desperately need. Over 70,000, brought here during the evacuation, are in limbo come the new year. Our allies put their lives on the line for a new vision of #Afghanistan
People across #Afghanistan risked their lives and the lives of their families to work with US and #NATO forces - this moral obligation lies heavily on us. At least, it does to me as an OEF veteran. If we truly believe the values we preach, we need to pass the #AfghanAdjustmentAct
Millions across the globe have felt a stir at "All men are created equal" since 1776, and have striven for self-determination. Do we not owe it to those who most recently fought for this ideal, who risked their lives for US troops? That's why #ISupportAAA
