A little learning, a little creativity! 💙 During their visit, The Potomac School's seventh graders also stepped into the role of Communications Directors, creating press releases to practice sharing REACT DC’s work with the community.

Employment support takes many forms! 🚗 This thank-you from an RSSEP client’s family celebrates completing a driver’s license course with our team’s help—one way our Employment team helps clients overcome barriers to work. 💙

Asking for support can be hard. Finding it shouldn’t be. 💙

Please share this with someone who may need it. Confidential, culturally responsive support is available in English, Dari, and Pashto through REACT DC and No One Left Behind.

Reaching out takes only three steps:

1. Call or message us. We have community members who speak English, Dari, and Pashto available.

2. A short, private talk to find what helps you.

3. We schedule your first, fully private session. A trained interpreter will be present so you can speak freely in Dari or Pashto.

There is no cost or waiting list for community support, and there is never any judgment when you choose to speak with us.

If you are not ready for yourself, that is ok. Send this to someone you care about. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is pass along a number.

This service is provided through a partnership between REACT DC and No One Left Behind.

REACT DC stands with AfghanEvac and the Afghan allies who stood with the United States.

The administration’s proposed FY2027 refugee admissions plan sets a ceiling of 17,500 people, primarily Afrikaners from South Africa. Afghan allies are not specifically named.

Meanwhile, 1,039 Afghan allies and family members remain at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, where the U.S. government brought them. About 150 are immediate family members of U.S. service members.

As Congress reviews the plan, we urge lawmakers to reserve admissions for Afghan allies and their families. We made a promise to them. It is time to keep it.
