About a year ago today, Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. What happened to LGBTQ Afghans caught in this situation?

Immigration Equality stepped in to help as much as we could, but thousands still are in danger.

Let me know what you think about this thoughtful piece in The Daily Beast.

Some LGBTQ Afghans Are Finally Safe. Thousands Are Not. A year after the Taliban’s return, LGBTQ Afghan refugees reveal their desperate journeys to safety, while campaigners demand governments take action to help those still in peril.

I'm honored to share I've recently started an exciting professional opportunity as Director of Development for Immigration Equality! In this role, I'll be leading the organization's national fundraising strategy to resource direct legal services for LGBTQ and HIV-positive asylum seekers in the USA.

Based in New York City, Immigration Equality is the national leader in le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r (LGBTQ), and HIV immigration rights. We helped end the HIV travel ban and led the successful fight to secure green cards for LGBTQ families. We pioneered the field of LGBTQ asylum law, and have won thousands of cases pro bono while maintaining a 99% success rate. You can learn more at www.immigrationequality.org
