Welcome.US at the Table: Remembering our Afghan wartime allies

Next live webinar:

Remembering our Afghan wartime allies

Register for our next live webinar on Thursday, Aug. 21, at 3 p.m. ET.

August 2021 was marked by the urgent evacuation of over 75,000 allies from Afghanistan and their subsequent resettlement in the U.S., with the generous support of American communities across the country. Four years later, Welcome.US continues to partner with organizations like #AfghanEvac and No One Left Behind to bring Afghan Special Immigrant Visa holders to safety through private sponsorship.

This month, we’re joined by Shawn VanDiver, the Founder and President of #AfghanEvac, for a deep dive into the policies affecting Afghan allies abroad and in the U.S., and Mack Slaughter, the U.S. Programs Operations Coordinator at No One Left Behind, for an inside look at current resettlement efforts. We will also hear from a U.S. military veteran who sponsored an Afghan family, and share how you can support Afghan newcomers.

Whether you’re a sponsor, a friend of a newcomer, or you just want to learn more, you are welcome at the table.

What is Welcome.US at the Table?

Join us the third Thursday of every month at 3 p.m. ET to participate in a national conversation about our joint work of welcoming. These webinars are designed for sponsors and Welcomers who care about private sponsorship pathways, the newcomers we’ve welcomed, and the stories of welcome that unite us.

For us, meeting at the table means nourishment, encouragement, community building, and idea sharing. That's the spirit we strive to foster.
