“We must continue to work toward ending the systems that displace our communities — and also the ones that exclude them, force them through insurmountable barriers, and then criminalize them for who they are…” said Laila Ayub, Project ANAR co-founder and director.
Afghans fleeing the wreckage of decades-long war are forced to make an 11-country journey to claim asylum in the U.S. only to be targeted for detention and face systemic barriers to practicing their faith while detained due to anti-Muslim racism and structural Islamophobia.
.@project_anar’s oped in @truthout is a heart wrenching portrayal of the unique struggles of Afghans seeking refuge. Not only are Afghans displaced as a direct result of our gov’t’s $8 trillion “War on Terror” but the US offers virtually no accessible pathways for refugee status.

NEW: Our op ed today in @truthout, highlighting the experiences of our detained asylum-seeking Afghan community members. Afghans seeking refuge face insurmountable barriers, and when they seek asylum face detention and the inherent abuse of ICE prisons. truthout.org/articles/afgha…

Urgent Action Needed! @SpeakerJohnson, @SenSchumer, @LeaderMcConnell, and @RepJeffries must act now to authorize additional Afghan Special Immigrant Visas. Our Afghan allies risked everything for the U.S. mission and deserve our support. #FinishTheMission bit.ly/SIVs4Afghans
