Thanks for your continued support and advocacy for our Afghan allies and communities, Shawn!

Afghan allies who supported the United States war in Afghanistan deserve the United States government’s support, attention and protection. #PassEnduringWelcomeAct. Shawn VanDiver.

Proud of my team at Afghan Family Services (AFS)! We are proudly endorsing the #EnduringWelcomeAct!

I am deeply saddened to learn that a powerful earthquake struck Afghanistan, causing at least 800 deaths, more than 2500 injuries, and massive property destruction. My deepest sympathies go out to everyone affected by this catastrophic earthquake.

This evening at Labor Day parade in Escondido, I spoke against Donald Trump’s corruption and chaos and urged my fellow Californians to Vote Yes on Prop 50 and unseat Republican Congressman Darrel Issa! We must stop Trump and save our future, our democracy and our country.

This past Sunday, I attended two significant community events in Sacramento where so many community leaders and members from across California came together to commemorate the 24th anniversary of Afghanistan’s National Hero, Ahmad Shah Massoud’s death, who was assassinated by

It was horrific to hear about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and I condemn it in the strongest terms. There is no place for any form of violence in our country.  My heart is with Charlie’s family.

A reminder to President Donald J. Trump, Secretary Marco Rubio & Department of State: Afghan allies who risked their lives and supported the United States in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021 are at risk of retaliation. They deserve our full support and attention, and our government must bring them to safety.

Right now here with Shawn VanDiver waiting to welcome Sayed’s release from ICE custody. 106 days ago and during his first immigration court hearing, Sayed was detained by ICE but in a few minutes, we will welcome him back to freedom. Afghan allies deserve our full support and

Let’s celebrate Sayed’s release from ICE custody! Last night at San Ysidro, we welcomed Sayed’s release from ICE custody. More than 100 days ago, while attending his first immigration court hearing, Sayed was detained by ICE at the San Diego Federal Courthouse. This Friday, a

I voted Yes on Prop 50! Donald Trump is trying to steal the next election and destroy our democracy by redistricting Republican-led states to win more seats and secure a Republican majority in Congress. We must organize, mobilize, and fight back in every State, County, and City

This morning, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, a political force on Capitol Hill, announced that she will not run for reelection to Congress at the end of her term in January 2027. Congresswoman Pelosi was first elected to Congress in 1987 and served 20 terms in the House of

I am heartbroken by the shooting of our heroes and brave National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, yesterday afternoon by an Afghan national. I condemn this act of evil in the strongest terms and demand the harshest punishment for the shooter. I wish a speedy recovery for the injured

It’s wrong, shameful and bigotry to demonize the entire community based on the actions of one person.

Thanks to my Hazara brothers and sisters for honoring the lives of our brave heroes and Guardsmen in Washington, DC. The Afghan national who murdered our heroes does not represent us, and that is not who we are. Our heroic military forces are the best, deserve the best, and we
