On #Juneteenth we commemorate the day slavery ended in America in 1865. IAVA wants to honor the service and sacrifices of Black veterans, post-9/11 and those who came before us... some that served America when freedom wasn't guaranteed to them. Thank you 🫡
PROMISE BETRAYED: IAVA is deeply concerned by reports that an Afghan ally was arrested at his immigration hearing. This interpreter served beside US forces, holds lawful parole status, and has pending SIV/asylum applications. Read more from @Unite4Vets: unite4veterans.org/press/vets-con…
🎙️ “We stood by America—now we ask America to stand by us.” June 6, 2025 — Unite for Veterans Rally 🇺🇸 Together with IAVA, we raised our voices for every veteran, ally, and family still waiting for justice. #UniteForVeterans #IAVA #VeteransVoices #KeepThePromise #AfghanAllies

“Productive day on Capitol Hill advocating for our Afghan allies. Met with 5 senators to push for urgent action on rescue efforts and ensuring those who stood with us are not left behind. Bipartisan support is key—our allies deserve safety. #AfghanAllies #NoOneLeftBehind”
Great meeting with John Richard, Defense Fellow for Rep. Darrell Issa, discussing Afghan allies left behind & alternative therapies for veterans. Urgent need for action on SIV processing & Alternative therapy for veterans. Grateful for the dialogue! #Veterans #AfghanAllies

Met with Senator Joni Ernst’s staff—good people who listened. We urged the senator to push for resuming the paused SIV program and bring it to the president’s attention. Productive conversation.

As an IAVA member and former Afghan interpreter turned Marine, I’m in DC advocating for Afghan Allies left behind. Those who helped us for 20 years now live in fear—we must act. #AfghanAllies #NoOneLeftBehind #IAVA
I had a productive meeting with Austin Girelli, Senior Advisor for Senator Elisa Slotkin, discussing IAVA policies. The main focus was on rescuing Afghan allies left behind, and Austin was receptive to the concerns. Thank you Austin for your time
