Tell Your Representative: Cosponsor the Bera and Crow Afghan Allies Amendments!
Congress is considering amendments supporting the Afghan SIV program in the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). We need your help to include these critical provisions in this must-pass legislative package.
Bera #938 would reinforce that it is United States policy to support our Afghan allies through the Afghan SIV program and refugee admissions. Crow #1144 would extend the Afghan SIV program for two years.
Congress needs to hear from you – their constituent – that they should stand with our Afghan allies and support the Crow and Bera Amendments and resume the Afghan SIV program!
You can find your Representative here.
