Our guest will speak about the journey of Afghan allies who supported U.S. and international missions, the fallout after the fall of Kabul, and the current plight of Afghan refugees stuck in limbo—particularly those in Pakistan awaiting resettlement. He will share personal experiences and challenges navigating displacement, bureaucracy, and the mental toll of prolonged uncertainty.

The presentation will also touch on how communities abroad can engage in advocacy, build solidarity, and push for more humane and just immigration policies.

FROM AWAKENING TO ACTION is a seminar series designed for individuals who are deeply concerned about the injustices facing our world today and who seek knowledge, spiritual grounding, and organizing skills to become effective change makers. By bridging spiritual wisdom with activism, we aim to cultivate a new wave of organizers, advocates, and community leaders prepared to fight for justice in their communities. The series will feature intimate conversations with leading scholars, activists, and educators to deepen participants’ understanding of pressing social justice issues and provide practical strategies for advocacy.
