My Friends, Today represents an incredible win for the thousands of Afghans who risked everything to assist the United States. Thanks to your support and the hard work of No One Left Behind’s advocacy team, the United States Congress will vote today to extend and expand the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program through 2016. Thousands of vulnerable Afghans who have been living in danger and in limbo will now find the sanctuary they deserve. The new law will allocate 4,000 additional visas to the Afghan SIV program and will extend protection to interpreters who worked with U.S. forces but were technically part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). This victory is outstanding, and it is not unique: No One Left Behind helped pass four pieces of legislation through Congress this fiscal year, resulting in life-saving visas and human rights for over 110,000 individuals with U.S. affiliations. When you support No One Left Behind, you make it possible for us to secure far-reaching policy reforms like this one. Please consider making a gift today, and help us to continue influencing policy that impacts thousands: https://nolb.nationbuilder.com/contribute Many thanks! -Cheers, Matt
