SUPPORT OUR NEW AFGHAN NEIGHBORS: AFGHAN ADJUSTMENT ACT VIRTUAL ADVOCACY DAYS, SEPTEMBER 6-8

The Evacuate Our Allies Coalition is organizing virtual congressional advocacy days, from Tuesday, September 6, to Thursday, September 8, to urge Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act, which has been endorsed by the USCCB and would provide a much-needed pathway to full integration for recently arrived Afghans. To participate, please RSVP here by Sunday, August 28.

Virtual legislative visits will be scheduled between 12:00 p.m. ET and 5:00 p.m. ET on September 6 and between 9:00 a.m. ET and 5:00 p.m. on September 7 and 8. If you are unable to join virtual meetings anywhere in those time blocks, please ensure you note this in the RSVP form.
 
As part of this effort, participants will receive:

  1. Training on virtual legislative meetings: date TBD (the week of August 29)
  2. Schedule of meetings with senators or their staff: September 6-8
  3. Sample talking points and asks for meetings
  4. Evacuate Our Allies Coalition support: each meeting will include an accompanier (experienced legislative advocate) to provide support
  5. Advocacy and social media toolkit
