On Monday, August 29, 2022 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET, Afghan American Artists and Writers Association (AAAWA), Afghans For A Better Tomorrow, and Project ANAR hosted a panel event centering Afghan Experiences of Humanitarian Parole One Year Later.
One year after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Afghan nationals throughout the world find themselves displaced and with little to no certainty about their futures. This discussion will feature the perspectives of lawyers, advocates, and first-hand accounts of applicants. Panelists will discuss how humanitarian parole, a mechanism to enter the US, has failed Afghan applicants; the history of HP in the context of US immigration policy; and steps we can take to advocate for fairer and more just immigration policies.
