Call to Action to Help Afghan Refugees

September 2, 2021

Friends,

PIVOT recently issued a statement calling for the U.S. government to act on the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. As Afghan refugees are now arriving in the US, we will be supporting them by raising funds for front-line organizations providing critical services for refugees as they resettle in this country.

Please help us reach our goal of raising $40,000 for Afghan refugees.

Your tax-deductible donations will be 100% matched by PIVOT matching donors to double the impact of your gift!

Your donations will directly benefit Viet for Afghans to mobilize the Vietnamese American community to help Afghan refugees, International Rescue Committee to support their work on refugee resettlement,  International Refugee Assistance Project for their advocacy and legal services on behalf of Afghans refugees, Refugees International for their bold policy advocacy to protect at risk Afghans and support Afghan refugees, and Upwardly Global for their work in helping Afghan refugees restart their careers.

Here are some actions you can take to personally get involved with helping Afghan refugees. Every action matters and no action is too small!
