#Afghanistan has just been hit by a devastating earthquake, second one in two months, killing and injuring hundreds of people.

This must end now! The fact that ending gun violence has become a polarizing political position in this country is a moral stain that will define our generation. #stopgunviolence

Our statement in response to today’s Biden Executive Order relating to assets of the Afghan people currently frozen by the US government.
Haroon Azar retweeted
“I can’t think of a worse betrayal of the people of Afghanistan than to freeze their assets and give it to 9/11 families.” — Barry Amundson, whose brother Craig was killed in the Pentagon on 9/11/01.
We could not agree more. This is unacceptable. nytimes.com/2022/02/11/us/po…
We first called on the Biden admin to grant Afghans in the United States Temporary Protected Status (TPS) on August 16, 2021, the day after the fall of Kabul. 6 months and countless letters and meetings later, there’s little left to say, it’s time for action.
It’s #TimeForTPS.
