They stood with us in war. Now they’re being sent to die.
Afghan allies risked their lives to help U.S. troops — serving as interpreters, guides, and partners on the ground. Because of that service, they were put into the crosshairs of the Taliban. Many received death threats. Some saw family members targeted or killed. They trusted America to protect them.
Now, after years stuck in limbo in places like Qatar, they’re facing a shocking new plan: removal to the Democratic Republic of Congo — a country they’ve never known, facing ongoing instability and with limited capacity to protect refugees.
They would have no support system, no clear path to safety, and no protection from the Taliban forces still hunting them. Without resettlement in the United States, many will remain hunted with nowhere safe to go.
Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s plan and ensure Afghan allies are resettled safely in the United States.
Trump’s betrayal will put the lives of our Afghan allies and interpreters at risk after everything they did for us.
Human rights experts warn that sending Afghan allies to Congo could leave them in dangerous, unstable conditions without adequate security or infrastructure to protect vulnerable refugees. These families already fled the Taliban once. Sending them somewhere that cannot keep them safe puts them right back in harm’s way — with no guarantee they will survive.
Congress has the power to stop this. Lawmakers can block funding for any transfer, launch oversight hearings, and force the administration to honor its commitments — but they won’t act unless we demand it.
If we abandon them now, we send a message to the world: risk your life for America, and you’ll be left to die.
Add your name now and demand Congress act before it’s too late.
Thanks for everything you do.
