Dear Supporter,
Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, 161,000 people across Australia have signed our petition and Open Letter calling on the Australian government to take #ActionForAfghanistan.
It’s working.
We’re hearing from calls to MPs and Senators that the Government is feeling the pressure and that they will make important decisions about how Australia will respond to the Afghanistan crisis in the coming weeks.
We need your help to keep the pressure up. At the briefing you will find out more about the campaign strategy from here, with clear information about what needs to happen next.
WHAT: Urgent Briefing on the Afghanistan Crisis and action needed to win commitments from the Morrison Government.
WHEN: 6pm Tuesday 21 September 2021 (AEDT; Sydney/Melbourne)
WHERE: Online via Zoom (link will be sent with registration confirmation email)
RSVP NOW to get the Zoom link.
The situation in Afghanistan is the biggest humanitarian catastrophe that the world has faced in recent times and it has shaken all of us to our core.
After 20 years of intervention, and promises of freedom, democracy and human rights Australia has an ethical and moral obligation to help the people of Afghanistan.
This is an urgent briefing - our time to act is now.
Your sincerely,
Afghan Australian Advocacy Network
PS. It has been just over a month since the Taliban forcibly took control of Afghanistan. Since then we have seen homes being destroyed, thousands of people displaced and the reintroduction of draconian laws synonymous with the Taliban’s previous rule - including a demise in women’s rights and protections. We must act now. RSVP here to join our urgent briefing.
