It should be the ultimate goal of every nonprofit to become obsolete. But as long as there is still work to be done, you want the very best team on the job. For Afghans seeking refuge following the United States' chaotic military withdrawal, Project ANAR is that team. Please consider supporting ANAR's work this #GivingTuesday - we've still got a lot of work ahead of us!

??????Join ANAR immigration attorneys next month on Zoom to learn what this election means for our community and the immigrant/refugee community at large. We’ll discuss what tools and resources are already available to empower ourselves as we head into the new administration and answer the community’s questions. This will be a a multi-part series. Advocates, allies, and community members are encouraged to register and attend. ?? Let us know in the comments what else you would like to see discussed at the event.

We are in need of a few more legal volunteers for our **virtual** adjustment of status workshop for Afghan asylees this Monday, 9/23 from 10 am to 4 pm. If you are able to assist, please fill out this form ASAP: bit.ly/ANARAOS24!

?????????? Last month, our team was in San Diego and Tijuana on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. While we’ve been working with many asylum seekers detained in San Diego for the last two years, this was the first time that we were able to visit as a larger group (still with some missing!) We met with many detained Afghan asylum seekers and attended court with some of our detained clients. We also gathered donations and assembled meal bags to assist local organizations that have been spearheading efforts to support non-citizens on both sides of the border facing ever-changing challenges as a result of U.S. immigration policies that limit access to asylum, including @alotrolado_org @haitianbridge @panasandiego @weallwegotsd You don’t have to go to the border to bear witness to the cruelty anti-immigrant policies and border militarization impose on all of our communities—you can support these organizations as well as ANAR from near or far, and find ways to support local mutual aid efforts in your own communities! Please stay tuned for more resources and updates in the coming weeks ????????
