“America likes to tell a certain story about itself: It’s a safe haven, a place of refuge for the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. It’s a story that history shows hasn’t always been true. But thankfully, it just got easier for Americans to take matters into their own hands and turn that aspiration into a reality.

The Biden administration on January 19 launched the Welcome Corps, a new program that will allow groups of Americans to directly sponsor refugees to resettle in their communities.

Whereas recent programs have focused on bringing over people from specific places — Afghanistan, Ukraine, Venezuela — this program makes it possible for private citizens to resettle people from any place in the world, so long as they are refugees as defined by the US Refugee Act.

Under the Welcome Corps program, you and a few of your friends can pool together funds to provide an immigration pathway that allows vulnerable people who may not otherwise be able to immigrate the ability to rebuild their lives in the US. Forming a private sponsor group involves bringing together at least five adults in your area and collectively raising $2,275 for each person you want to resettle in your community. With that money, sponsors commit to helping them through the first three months there, which can include securing and furnishing housing, stocking the pantry with food, supporting job hunts, and registering kids for school.

It’s a powerful way to improve life for the newcomers, granting them protection from persecution or violence in their country of origin, plus the chance to access health care, education, and socioeconomic opportunities. It can also improve life for everyone who’ll be in the newcomers’ orbit, including you and your neighbors. Research suggests welcoming refugees will likely benefit your community as a whole, for example by opening new businesses that revitalize neighborhoods. In Canada, a similar private sponsorship program has proven immensely popular and successful over the past decade.

But you might be thinking: Why should it fall to private citizens to fork over the cash, time, and energy to resettle refugees? Shouldn’t that be the government’s job?

...It’s a fair point: This is the government’s job. That’s why the advocacy groups that pushed for the Welcome Corps program insisted that any refugees who come to the US via private sponsorship should be in addition to the number of traditional, government-assisted resettlement cases.

The State Department has signaled that it agrees. This means that by sponsoring a refugee, you can play a role in allowing the US to take in more refugees overall. It really is additive.

And unlike prior programs for Afghans or Ukrainians, which were temporary, ad hoc responses to crises, the Welcome Corps is intended to be a permanent fixture. The hope is that it’ll complement the traditional resettlement process, which has been struggling for years.”

FUCK YOU

Cutting hair is a very old and traditional way of grieving in Iran so fuck you.

Not everything is about you. For years women have been oppressed and forced to wear hijab so fuck you. If we don't wear it properly we end up in jail, get lashed or beaten and in cases we end up dead.

Mahsa Amini wasn't the first woman to be killed because of such rules so FUCK YOU.

If we have to, then we will burn our forced hijab. We are oppressed and we need people to be our voice. So for once shut the fuck up and go fuck your selves.

i posted this once here and my personal but seeing the comments it seems it needs repeating

1- THERE IS NOTHING ANTI-SEMTIC ABOUT BEING ANTI-ZIONISTS

it isn't antisemitic to call actual monsters out on their human rights violations. by that logic criticizing the nazis would be racist towards Germans. you see how ridicules that is?

the target here is Zionism, not jewdism

2- zionism(and by extention israel) doesn't represent jewdism

Zionism is a nationalistic movement originating in eastern and central Europe that emerged in the latter part of the 19th century with the goal of founding a Jewish national state in Palestine

the ideology, goals, and actions of Zionists stand in stark contradiction to Jewish law.

the formation of a "jews state" is strictly forbidden according jewish law, as attested in talmud and midrash literature. and as attested by rabbis across time. according to which the return of the children of israel only happens by the hands of the messiah, not by forming an ethno-state

the actions of the state of israel ever sense it's foundation, from forcible evacuation of Palestinians, to continues murder and bloodshed are strictly outlawed by god's covenant as outlined in the books of the torah

3- most jews are NOT zionists. most zionists are NOT jewish

as outlined above: the laws of jewdism strictly forbids the idiology and actions. anyone not blinded by propaganda or bigotry can see this manifest it's self through the actions of groups like "jewish voices for piece", the public stands and talks by figures like Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, RABBI DOVID FELDMAN, and others. as well as the countless jew around the world who have been for decades and to this day protesting against the illegal colonist occupation by israel, and protesting for the return of the land of palestine to Palestinians.

israel is, and has been for decades, using antisemtism as a shield for criticism, while not caring for jewdism, it's practitioners, nor it's laws

Israel is a white settler colony, a continuation of the expansionist greed that led to the genocide, oppression, and land theft against the indigenous peoples of the Americas(be it america, canada, or the south American counties), of Australia, of new Zealand, of congo, of iraq, of afganistan, and of every single country, land, and people who suffered through europian colonialism

A step back in human rights...

From yesterday, May 7th 2022, women are decreed to cover their faces in public, and if they do not, their father or closest male relative faces punishment.

G7 calls on Taliban to stop restricting women's rights

New Post has been published on https://www.timesofocean.com/g7-calls-on-taliban-to-stop-restricting-womens-rights/

G7 calls on Taliban to stop restricting women's rights

Paris (The Times Groupe)- The Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers said on Thursday that the Taliban’s increasing restrictions on women and girls’ rights in Afghanistan are isolating the country.

“These measures further isolate the Taliban from the international community,” said the G7 foreign ministers and European Union foreign policy chief.

French officials urged the Taliban to take immediate action to lift restrictions on women and girls, and to respect their human rights, in a joint statement.

In another step toward their past hardline rule, the Taliban, who swept back to power after the Afghan government collapsed last year, ordered women to cover their faces in public on Saturday.

As most of you have read by now, Taliban has banned women from university education. These brave Afghan women took the streets protesting the closure. It will start with university and eventually trickle down. Taliban is fearful of educated women.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said late Tuesday that no other country in the world bars women and girls from receiving an education."The Taliban cannot expect to be a legitimate member of the international community until they respect the rights of all in Afghanistan," he warned. "This decision will come with consequences for the Taliban."

Frankly, US can go f*** itself. They allowed this to happen. Biden allowed this to happen. What the hell did they think was going to happen once Taliban came back to power? Did they think that Taliban was going to allow women to be educated, to be free? Of course they didn’t; of course the US knew this was the end result. They didn’t care because Afghan women are nonhumans in their eyes. So, Blinken can say whatever he wants. His words are empty and the US is partly responsible for what is happening to Afghan women and to Afghanistan. The audacity of US administrations knows no limits.

It’s up to us to help. To put pressure on western governments to do something, such as, fair refugee laws that would help these women and girls to come to the west and live normal lives. And also, pronouncing Taliban as an illegitimate government.

Stand with the women of Afghanistan. Be their voice. Show that the world we care.

I will try to put together a link for petitions and letter writing campaigns to help Afghan women. And if you know of any, please message me.

🚨 New Blog Post Alert 🚨 After the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan in 2021, Afghan women and girls are yet again facing severe restrictions on basic human rights, such as the rights to work, education, and freedom of movement.

In our blog post, in addition to discussing further about how the Taliban is committing egregious human rights violations, we also look into what actions are being taken to stand up against those human rights abuses.
