Huge thank you to Senator @amyklobuchar, @ChrisCoons, @SenBlumenthal, @LindseyGrahamSC, @JerryMoran & @SenTomCotton for supporting the motion to instruct to include #AfghanAdjustment in the NDAA! One step closer to providing lasting protections for our #AfghanAllies.

“Simply put, everyone needs to see this play,” says our Executive Director, David Cook, as he reviews @lastoutplay after its opening weekend at Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago. The art of storytelling is as cathartic as it is entertaining. @RooftopLeader's all veteran and military-connected cast delivers an eerily realistic glimpse into every Service Member’s three-front war. Last Out is exactly what this generation of Veterans needs. Read the full review on our blog: soaa.org/last-out-review/ We highly recommend you get tickets and experience Last Out for yourself: lastoutplay.com/tickets-2/ #lastout #storytelling #war #specialoperationsforces #veterans

Mid-term elections are underway! We need your voices heard on the Congress floor! Let’s end the use of Title 42, grant safe admittance to more asylum-seekers, provide wider employment and educational access to refugees, and continue extending protections… instagr.am/p/Cks20CrsjqR/

We stand with Afghans who are left behind and will continue to call upon @POTUS and the #Biden administration to urgently seek additional pathways of protection and work to avoid future pauses in relocation efforts. #ResumeTheMission

While we do not know exactly when the flights to Doha will resume, we expect them to restart after the tournament concludes in January 2023. With flights paused until January, the #WorldCupPause will be the longest delay in life-saving relocations to date.

Replying to @EvacOurAllies @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup
The #Biden Administration failed to plan for this reality, one which the White House had been aware of for years. At-risk Afghans need multiple transit points of relocation – a concern EOA has continually expressed.
