Hostage diplomacy targeting education must come to an end. Weesa must be released. It is our moral duty to raise our voices for those who are illegally and unjustifiably held in Taliban prisons.
When advocates recognize that #immigration is not just a legal pathway, but a means of #survival.
"There are times when immigration is not just a pathway or opportunity for a better life but is in reality the only opportunity to survive. That is what #Afghan nationals, especially those....who worked with the US govt, are facing today." @MariamAtash thinkimmigration.org/blog/20…
The last 2 years have been filled with stories of despair, fear & uncertainty, but also with love for family & perseverance by #veterans and non-Afghans who wanted to do what is right as an #American. #immigration #immigrationattorney #afghanallies thinkimmigration.org/blog/20…

Nooristan Foundation’s ‘Encourage an Entrepreneur’ program provides sewing skills, basic literacy and numeracy training for Afghan women. They are widows or their husbands are disabled so they are financially responsible for their families.

13yr old Nawal from #Afghanistan drew this photo of me after seeing my interview speaking against #Taliban restriction of #womensrights. @UN, @unafghanistan, Org of Islamic States & @POTUS must put pressure on #Pakistan to stop supporting #Taliban with these unjust policies.
Pressure must be put on #Taliban to remove restrictions on #AfghanWomen’s right to education and work. Muslim countries must take lead now to push for removal of these unIslamic decrees and @UN must do more than issue statements. youtu.be/pM9ykEzmTVU via @YouTube
My law firm Prime Counsel supports the #AfghanAdjustmentAct. Many businesses, faith based orgs and veterans support AAA. The US has a responsibility to provide a clear path for Afghans who were evacuated to this country. #ISupportAAA @SenFeinstein @SenAlexPadilla @katieporteroc
#Taliban are continuing to violate Afghan women’s rights. The #US government holds accountability as well, after being involved in the country’s politics for 20 years and mishandling withdrawal of security support. #afghanistan

The Taliban are taking #Afghanistan backwards again! Instead of focusing on the critical security and economic problems, they oppress women. Leadership of Muslim countries need to speak out against these distorted misinterpretations of Islam. voanews.com/a/taliban-order-…

Kabul may fall but I WILL NOT! This is my city. This is where I belong.
I have proudly served my people in my capacity & I shall continue that till my last breath!
The bond with this land is unbreakable no matter who is in power. They always come & leave, but we are still here – at Afghanistan
