FIGHTING TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THOSE THAT SERVED THE U.S.
On August 31th, 2021, US Military Forces departed Afghanistan. Since then, Taliban have escalated their systematic execution of all those who worked with US Forces, starting with our translators. We need your help to help save the estimated 140,000+ SIV applicants who are still awaiting a Special Immigrant Visas for their service. These loyal and trustworthy Afghans served with U.S. combat veterans and need our help now more than ever. Click below to learn how you can help.
Message from Kim Staffieri, Executive Director:
​
As Executive Director of the Association of Wartime Allies, I am asking for your support at a moment of profound urgency. Afghan Special Immigrant Visa applicants earned their place through years of service alongside U.S. forces, repeated security vetting, and extraordinary personal risk. Yet today, the U.S. government has effectively shut down their pathway to safety by halting processing and banning travel for all Afghans, including SIVs. Families who did everything asked of them are now trapped in hiding, facing deportation, retaliation, and starvation. This is not a bureaucratic delay—it is a life-or-death failure of promise. Your support allows AWA to keep advocating, informing, and fighting for the allies who stood with America when it mattered most.
They Earned This. We Cannot Look Away.
Kim Staffieri
