Another ally and his family are now safe in the US. Thank you NOLB. There are so many more families in need of help. These people risked their lives to help our soldiers come home. We need to return that favor, as our government promised, but failed to do. Please donate. ❤️

We made a promise to protect the brave Afghans who stood by our men & women in uniform to advance the U.S. mission in Afghanistan. Upholding our commitment & ensuring their safety is both a moral obligation & a national security priority.

We are glad that the omnibus included a baseline extension of the SIV program and 4k more visas, but so much more needs to be done to aid our #Afghan #allies still left behind. See you next Congress - we'll be there demanding that America does better to #FinishTheMission.

Today, I signed the bipartisan omnibus bill, ending a year of historic progress. It'll invest in medical research, safety, veteran health care, disaster recovery, VAWA funding – and gets crucial assistance to Ukraine. Looking forward to more in 2023.
President Biden signs the bipartisan omnibus bill into law.

Santa came late this year: One of my SIV families got their visas issued today and will be US bound shortly. Two more families passed their visa interviews today. All required over a year of inquiries, pushes, follow-ups, pulls. It shouldn’t be this hard for our Afghan Allies.

The signing of the Omnibus bill Friday means the SIV program will be extended into 2024 AND an additional 4k visas were allocated to the program. This is a good start, but we need a permanent SIV program to ensure US credibility with local partners.

. has been an unstoppable friend of our combat allies from Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank you for ensuring the SIV program lives on - it is the only lifeline for our Afghan allies left behind.

"A program that resettles Afghan interpreters who worked with U.S. forces is no longer on the chopping block." NOLB's advocacy team has been in Washington ensuring the survival of the SIV program. We expect its final passage in the omnibus today.

Thank you to my Senate colleagues who fought for the #SIV program. The fact that this program came so close to expiring in a year shows how vulnerable it is. I won't stop working until we have a permanent, better SIV program that cuts through red tape & helps more Afghans.

BREAKING: The #Senate includes the renewal of the SIV program in the #Omnibus #Appropriations bill. When passed, this legislation will save the program and allocate an additional 4000 visas for our allies. NOLB applauds our Senate allies for working to #FinishTheMission

This is what reality looks like for the Afghan allies who were left behind. We made a promise to them as a nation. This is shameful and we need to bring them home now.

People in #Afghanistan are struggling as winter sets in and the economic crisis worsens. Pneumonia and malnutrition cases amongst children are on the rise and families are facing an impossible dilemma: eating or heating. The Int community must continue supporting #Afghans.
