🚨BREAKING: Bipartisan action is FINALLY moving forward to protect our Afghan allies! Two new bills in Congress would provide safe pathways for Afghans left behind and allow those already evacuated to secure long-term protection in the U.S. 🏛️ The Afghan Adjustment Act (House) 🏛️ Fulfilling Promises to Afghan Allies Act (Senate) “As a light infantry commander in Afghanistan, my interpreter was like a second company commander.” — Andrew Sullivan, Executive Director, No One Left Behind 💜 At Hearts & Homes for Refugees, we’ve helped resettle 482 Afghan allies and continue to welcome more families to Westchester — offering housing, school enrollment, job coaching, and community care. But with threats to refugee support looming, including loss of food and healthcare under proposed federal changes, we must be ready to fill the gap.
