Afghan allies deserve for the US to honor the commitment we made to them. They showed up for us and now it’s our turn to prove we mean it. @PeterLucier @afghanevac @shawnjvandiver
Shawn VanDiver@shawnjvandiver

At #AfghanEvac we speak truth to power and today it comes from @PeterLucier. It’s easy to talk and not act when you’re in the Senate. Now you’re in charge. Secretary Mullin — you’ve talked tough. Talk is cheap. Can veterans and Afghans count on you? wapo.st/4c2ZgnS

These #BattleBuddies chalked up a big win yesterday. Asylum was granted and, unless the USG appeals (we don’t think they have grounds) a family of 5 will soon be lawful permanent residents and full-fledged Americans shortly thereafter.

Debate and disagreement are essential to a thriving democracy. Violence has no place and must always be opposed.

"We, Afghan women, feel like broken records in this Council. Every session, we repeat the same truths: the escalating, and horrendous violations of our rights. Nothing hidden about the Taliban’s atrocities. And still, their war on women continues with impunity."#HRC60

UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett
I support @UN_SPExperts statement on #Gaza by @FranceskAlbs & my thematic colleagues urging immediate international intervention to stop “one of the most ostentatious and merciless manifestations of the desecration of human life and dignity”. Read full statement below👇
UN Special Procedures@UN_SPExperts

States must act now to end the violence or bear witness to the annihilation of the Palestinian population in #Gaza: UN experts demand immediate international intervention as Israel continues relentless destruction of life in Gaza ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Devastated to hear about the tragic loss of life of Abida, a young Afghan girl whose future should have stood before her. Abida sadly took her life rather than face a forced marriage to a member of the Taliban

There must be concrete measures immediately imposed against Israel by the UK 🇬🇧 @DavidLammy @HFalconerMP It is for exactly for this moment that the duty to prevent genocide was born & all the obligations that flow from it. But once again the int’l community fails in real time
Hamish Falconer MP@HFalconerMP

Yesterday WFP announced its food stocks in Gaza have run out, having delivered its final supplies. Israel’s devastating aid block is putting civilians, including 1m children, at risk of starvation. The UK, France and Germany are clear - it must end. gov.uk/government/new…

I had the pleasure of meeting in person @heatherbarr1 in South Africa last week. We’ve been in contact closely for some time, but connecting in person was really nice.She’s one of the few voices who speaks boldly and clearly about the situation of women in Afghanistan.

Our Afghan allies need your voice. I'm grateful to @shawnjvandiver, @afghanevac and the countless veteran and civilian led organizations leading this fight so that our allies can access the relocation and resettlement pathways they were promised. Join us
Shawn VanDiver@shawnjvandiver

#BREAKING: Last night, I sent a letter to senior leaders in the Trump Administration requesting clarity, collaboration, and action on behalf of our Afghan wartime allies. This isn’t just about policy—it’s about promises. And right now, the U.S. is failing to keep them.

It is vital that you contacted your elected officials in the United States and urge them to protect Enduring Welcome. Afghan allies who are vetted and who risked their lives protecting our freedoms deserve the pathway to safety they were promised.
Shawn VanDiver@shawnjvandiver

🚨 The State Dept just told OMB they plan to shut down Enduring Welcome—the program that relocates our Afghan allies. Thousands already vetted. U.S. troops’ family members. Even American citizens. We cannot let this happen. 📢 Take action: afghanevac.org/letter-to-reps #AfghanEvac

A 27 yr-old Iranian woman converted to Christianity, and had to flee Iran (where conversion brings the death penalty). She fled to the US to seek asylum. The Trump administration arrested her, put her in shackles, loaded her on a military plane with 300 other migrants...

Did you know that, for the cost of less than 10 days of the Afghan war we could relocate and resettle every single one of the wartime allies who stood with us and haven’t yet gotten their shot at the American dream?

🚨 Thousands of Afghan evacuees are trapped in limbo because of a U.S. policy decision that could be reversed today with a simple phone call from @SecRubio. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters. 🧵⬇️
