"I support the Member of Congress letters Reps Jayapal and Malinowski spearheaded urging you, President Biden, to unfreeze Afghanistan's $9.5 billion in U.S. banks and to use your influence to demand the World Bank and IMF provide money to Afghanistan for food, schools, housing and health care. Unless you act now, a million children could face starvation, and more hospitals and schools could close their doors because there's no money to pay staff.

If there's a will, there's a way--find a way to get the money to those overseeing schools, hospitals, housing and food distribution. Make it happen--otherwise more Afghans could die this winter than in 20 years of war! Millions more will become refugees. We should be paying reparations for the damage our government has inflicted on the Afghan people, not freezing their assets so they starve.
Please unfreeze the assets now!"
