Here is Joseph M. Azam with Safi Rauf ZabihUllah Rauf 🇦🇫🇺🇸 and, of course Jon Stewart during the AAAFireWatch last year.

And 1 year later...
We are still asking that the promise made to our #AfghanAllies be kept.

Which starts with passing the #AfghanAdjustmentAct

This is me 1 year ago....
Showing up for AAAFireWatch
I woke up to videos of Safi Rauf and Matt Zeller outside the Capitol

With no hesitation I packed a bag and left for DC.

1 year later... still trying to #keepourpromise

1 year ago AAAFireWatch
More and more people began to #showup
Safi Rauf at this point had to be ruining on sheer determination. I know it wasnt on sleep. Because there was none to be had.
We were doing everything we could get more #SupportAAA to pass the bill

1 year ago today on AAAFireWatch
As word began to spread, our numbers quickly started to grow.
What we already knew was becoming apparent.
There was a lot of #supportAAA to be found

AAAFireWatch PASS #AfghanAdjustmentAct

This amendment ensures the SIV program will continue to be a lifeline to support our allies. The…

Just gave floor speech to include the bipartisan Afghan Adjustment Act amendment on defense bill. It should be called the COVENANT bill. Keeping our promises to those who stood with us. We have the votes. We need the vote.

The Afghan Adjustment Act was reintroduced yesterday by Senator Klobuchar and 9 cosponsors. Let’s hope it makes it through this time.

The cosponsors are:
Sen. Graham, Lindsey [R-SC]
Sen. Coons, Christopher A. [D-DE]
Sen. Moran, Jerry [R-KS]
Sen. Blumenthal, Richard [D-CT]

1400 #FireWatch update: Unfortunately Congress continued with their own selfish agenda and continued to lie to us throughout this process. Over 78,000 Afghans remain with uncertain future. Efforts by Veterans, everyday Americans, Afghans, Afghan Americans and Allies were ignored.

These scholarships are especially valuable for those Afghans who recently arrived to the United States and need financial support.

So i made a #TikTok

134 days into this session of #Congress

And still no #PasstheAAA
