TASSC joins survivors in demonstration at Asylum Office in Arlington, Virginia (known as #ZAR) on October 27. #USCIS has failed to schedule #asylum interviews for #torture #survivors and other #asylumseekers waiting 5+ years to present their case to an Asylum Officer.
TASSC is partnering with the DC Mayor's Office on African Affairs (MOAA) to inform DC residents about an opportunity to save money on their energy costs. Join us tomorrow at 1pm on Facebook for a live information session to learn more! #solarpower #solarforall #DC #InfoSession
My exhibition “Portraits of Resilience” is in its final month - @PhillipsMuseum, Washington DC. I am showing a portrait per day to raise awareness for @TASSCintl who I have been collaborating with. The portraits share the stories of survivors of torture from around the world.
TASSC's Andrea Barron published op-ed on need to end the #Trump-era #asylum policy for #survivors of #torture. The #Biden administration continues to punish survivors who entered the U.S. legally and applied for asylum 5+ years ago, now in #USCIS backlog. bit.ly/3cHr7yI

#EnforcedDisappearances have been used by dictatorships & authoritarian regimes to eliminate critical voices. This article by TASSC's Advocacy Program Director discusses #Uganda & #Rwanda & how families organize to seek justice for their relatives. tassc.org/news-blog/2022…
#GlobalMagnitsky sanctions bring accountability to perpetrators of serious human rights abuse. We join @humanrights1st, @freedomhouse, + 56 others to urge Congress to stand w/ victims of these abuses by reauthorizing & strengthening the #GlobalMagnitskyAct bit.ly/3LhNnvr
Founded and led by torture survivors, @TASSCintl uses a trauma-informed approach to work with survivors toward their recovery, offering medical, career, and legal services, and much more. Support their work: cfp-dc.org/nonprofits/164…

On February 19th, TASSC honored the memory of #sisterdiannaortiz. We thank everyone who joined the event and all those who keep her in their hearts and continue to support TASSC. For those who were unable to attend, you can watch the #commemoration below. youtube.com/watch?v=9UOqH_…
Last March, TASSC joined several organizations in trying to stop forced #deportation flights of #Cameroonian #asylumseekers. Omni and ATSG, co-owned by Amazon, are implicated in the #torture of these asylum seekers. Article trigger warning theintercept.com/2022/02/17/ama…
TASSC has published a report on police brutality in #Nigeria, where #SARS security forces illegally detain and #torture peaceful protestors. Article trigger warning tassc.org/news-blog/2022…
TASSC invites you to the one-year anniversary memorial service for Sister Dianna Ortiz. Register on Zoom: bit.ly/3HIO9A6 More details to come. #memorial #anniversary #sisterdiannaortiz
TASSC celebrates Federal Chief Judge Howell’s ruling in favor of @AsylumWorksDC vs. @DHSgov, striking down a series of Trump era rules that significantly delayed (and even denied) work permits for #asylumseekers. Read more: asylumworks.org/2022/02/asylum…
Dozens were killed in an attack on the #PlaineSavo displacement camp in Democratic Republic of Congo (#DRC). TASSC joins the numerous organizations and governments in condemning the attack. Read the statement made by @NRC_Norway: bit.ly/3seNnUT
TASSC supports @hrw in telling Egyptian authorities to stop deporting #Eritrean #asylumseekers without first assessing their protection needs. Forcing Eritreans to return to their country puts them at serious risk of #detention & #torture. Trigger warning: bit.ly/34d4I8g
TASSC supports the UK members of parliament that have called on their government to impose #Magnitsky style #sanctions on #Bahrain officials accused of #torture and mistreatment of political prisoners. bit.ly/3nHabeu
