Letters in Support of Afghan Refugees

Faith Leader Letter to Biden: Protect and Welcome Afghan Refugees, released August 30, 2021

Letter to President Biden from 300+ organizations and faith groups: Support Afghan Refugees, released August 20, 2021 and organized by Refugee Council USA

The Mauritanian tells the story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi and his fight for freedom after being detained, tortured, and imprisoned without charge in Guantanamo. Tahar Rahim (Golden Globe nominee), Jodie Foster (Golden Globe winner) and Benedict Cumberbatch star in the film, which accurately depicts both the torture and other inhumane treatment inflicted upon Guantanamo detainees, and the Kafkaesque lengths that the U.S. government has gone to keep them locked up regardless of their guilt or innocence.

Encourage your friends and members of your faith community to watch The Mauritanian. The movie is now available on various streaming services. >> Learn more
