Truman National Security Project! At the end of each month, we&rsquo;ll highlight some of the advocacy work, events, and other activities of the Truman community across the nation. This month, Truman fought for Special Immigrant Visas, welcomed new members, and raised the alarm about the national security threat of climate change.

Truman Support for the Special Immigration Visa (SIV) Program In mid-March, Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), John McCain (R-AZ), Jack Reed (D-RI), and Thom Tillis (R-NC) 
http://cl.s6.exct.net/?qs=5e04f6d2a0686801bb7323c103015aa2b9d9ed79995368e6bc14e499a9f98105054e33bce1a8d8ae9837ee5f48434e99 
introduced the &ldquo;Keeping Our Promise to Our Afghan Allies Act,&rdquo; which proposes to make 2,500 additional visas available to Afghan interpreters through the Special Immigration Visa (SIV) program. While introducing the bill, Sen. Shaheen 
http://cl.s6.exct.net/?qs=5e04f6d2a068680117128368b93030ffeaf6305cb6bb0f85e171e2ff50b971e12bd4d3f137d5afd29251af164746b6f5 
mentioned Truman President and CEO Michael Breen and his experiences working alongside an Iraqi interpreter, Wissam, who was murdered by extremists because of her service to the United States. In support of the SIV program, Truman HQ released message guidance, and Truman members and staff have published nine local and national op-eds so far.

 Truman National Security Project&#39;s Class of 2017 Orientations Over the past month, Truman National Security Project hosted orientations for the 2017 class of Defense Council, Political Partners, and Security Fellows. The Truman community now includes 1,702 veterans, frontline civilians, policy experts, and political professionals who are committed to a shared vision of U.S. leadership abroad.This new class is split evenly between men and women; we also accepted new members into more than three-quarters of our nationwide Chapters, and welcomed more first-generation college students into the community than any year prior. Nationwide Screenings of the
Age of Consequences
The Age of Consequences, which explores how climate change impacts national security and global stability, made its debut at the 2017 DC Environmental Film Festival. The film features Truman President and CEO Michael Breen and also highlights the work that our military and veterans are putting toward the clean technology transition. Over the past few months, members of Truman Chapters have coordinated nine screenings of the film in Boston, Seattle, San Diego, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Chicago, and Washington, DC, to both Truman members and others in the community.

Big reveal on Trump&rsquo;s foreign policy is he has none, by Scott Olson, Truman Political Partner

 President Trump has no foreign policy to speak of: he articulated no grand strategy for world affairs and offered little in the way of a global agenda aside from his ill-conceived promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Stand by South Korea, by Welton Chang, Truman Security Fellow

 Park Geun-hye&#39;s impeachment is significant because the next leader of South Korea will have considerable influence on the future of the U.S.-Korea alliance in the long run and how the world deals with North Korea in the short term.

Rex Tillerson&rsquo;s Dangerous Silence, by Stephen Krupin, Truman Security Fellow

 Secretary of State Tillerson still has not delivered a foundational maiden speech that outlines for our citizens, allies, partners, and foes what the Trump-Tillerson doctrine might look like; when such policies are not clearly defined, they are divined--for better or worse--by those listening.

 Our People, Our Narrative: A Call to Mobilize, by Suzie Abdou, Truman Security Fellow

 In the wake of the executive orders banning refugees from Muslim-majority nations and the violence against Arabs in the United States, Arab-Americans must find their collective voice and politically engage in a manner that clearly articulates an overarching narrative of unity.

Untangling the Complexity of Fragile States, by Andrew Albertson and Ashley Moran, Truman Security Fellows

 Due to the fact that the United States cannot provide all countries with the sustained support needed to fully address the conditions of fragility, a new strategy toward fragile states should focus first on aiding fragile security partners.

Bill speaks clearly to Afghan allies, by Joel Willett, Truman Defense Council

 Our troops, diplomats, and intelligence officers could not have operated safely and effectively in Afghanistan without the great sacrifice of interpreters and other wartime allies, who, come summer, will no longer have the opportunity to come to the U.S. and escape death threats from extremists.
