Afghans For A Better Tomorrow The situation in Pakistan is not good at all, we don't have legal documents, we can't work, and we can't travel freely either.
Living in the worst conditions.

Afghanistan's 2nd wave of deportations comes after the initial one that already returned over 500k Afghans back to Afghanistan -- that included 250k children returning to deep food insecurity and a lack of girls' education.

Pakistan's policy is cruel and deeply in humane.

We are here this week as well! Please spread the word for Afghans in Southern in California. This is a unique opportunity to ask case questions on the spot and learn about services you may be eligible for.

We have seen the pain and racism Africans seeking asylum in New York City.

We stand in unwavering solidarity with with Afrikana and Black migrants. Their pain is our pain.

We are proud to join New York City Council's 'New Arrivals Strategy Team,' a proposal put forth by Adrienne Adams.

The richest city in the world can and must do more to welcome new immigrants to the city and we're ready to be part of this important effort.

Thousands of African migrants are rallying at City Hall to have their voices heard. They add to the tapestry that makes New York— New York! We hope the Mayor hears their voices!

Once again, and this bears repeating until Pakistan stops violating the rights of Afghan refugees including those who are undocumented, & ACC and POR card holders: the newly elected government continues to violate the principle of nonrefoulement. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature/2…

On the third anniversary of President Biden’s withdrawal announcement, we condemn America’s forever wars from Gaza to Yemen to Afghanistan.

All America’s missiles and wars do is create misery for our Black and brown people across the globe.

If you don't want refugees, don't wage wars that helps create them.

Since then one of the things I’m proud of is the amount of orgs many of us have built to chart different strategies. Grateful to have Afghans For A Better Tomorrow, Muslims for Just Futures, Muslim Women For and so many others because the landscape of orgs wasn’t what we have today.

The #CAWelcomes Coalition will join us in Sacramento next week for our Advocacy Day! ✊🏽 Together, we will continue to ensure refugees & asylum-seekers are seen & heard, so CA can continue to welcome our neighbors with the dignity they deserve! #ImmigrantsThriving

I just published a piece Human Rights First on the dangers of the Pakistani government deporting thousands of Afghan refugees back to the conditions they fled, amidst its twofaced solidarity with Gaza. Pakistan can't continue violating the treaties it signed. humanrightsfirst.org/library/pakist…

The Taliban’s oppression of women is apartheid, Melanne Verveer, Karima Bennoune and Lina write.

Let’s call it that. wapo.st/49oos4O
