Truman turns commitment into action.
When the Afghan government fell in August 2021, Truman members supported more than 74,000Afghans who had been promised, safe harbor in the United States.
The chaotic withdrawal and rush to evacuate Americans and Afghans alike left thousands of Afghan allies vulnerable to Taliban reprisals. We sprang into action.
Our 2000+ members hail from 16 chapters across the United States.
