The Trump Administration welcomed the Afrikaner refugees with an American flag tote that contained:
The United States Constitution
The Declaration of Independence

A children’s book on President Trump
& more…

Tina, an Afrikaner refugee who arrived at Dulles Airport last night, told @realDailyWire she feels a duty to give back to America.
“I want to give something of myself to your country to say thank you for what you are doing for me. To give me the opportunities to start a new life, a better life than I’ve had in South Africa.”

Good Morning X!! 😎☕️🫡
42 South Africans (legal, vetted, assimilating refugees - not open-border chaos, not endless dependents, not endless grant recipients, not cultural rejection) landed at Dulles - waving American 🇺🇸 flags, grateful, ready to work and contribute to American society!!
God Bless America and all of her people!!

We got an exclusive look at the arrival of the latest group of refugees to the United States. The Trump admin welcomed 42 Afrikaner refugees fleeing oppression in South Africa yesterday at Dulles airport.
After speaking with many of them, it's clear they're here to contribute to the American way of life and are ready to assimilate.
“I want to mean something," one of the refugees, Tina, told @realDailyWire. "I want to give something of myself to your country to say thank you for what you are doing for me. To give me the opportunities to start a new life, a better life than I’ve had in South Africa.”

A Note About Our Public Team Images
We have seen the comments about our team members looking like “soap opera characters.” Let us be clear about why our public materials are presented this way.
The Bridge To Liberty works with refugee families, applicants, and volunteers — many of whom are still in South Africa or have family members there. In that environment, publishing a person’s real name and photograph is not harmless. It can expose them to harassment, intimidation, retaliation, and genuine physical danger.
For that reason, members of our team serve publicly under protective identities. The names and illustrated likenesses shown in our materials represent real volunteers doing real work, but their legal names and personal photographs are deliberately withheld. The images are likenesses, not personal photos, because protecting the people behind them matters more than satisfying public curiosity.
This is not a game, a marketing gimmick, or an attempt to deceive anyone. It is a safety measure made necessary by the nature of our work and by the personal attacks already directed at people connected with this organization.
We will not provide critics with a list of targets. Our accountability is in our work, our record, and the families we serve — not in exposing vulnerable people to danger.
We make no apology for protecting our team. We will continue to do so.

INTRODUCING A THANKSGIVING ACROSS AMERICA!
The Tradition Continues. The Table Grows.
This Thanksgiving, The Bridge to Liberty is launching a special nationwide initiative to bring American families and newly arrived Afrikaner refugees together through one of America’s most cherished traditions: Thanksgiving.
For many of our Afrikaner friends, this will be their very first American Thanksgiving. They may be thousands of miles from the homeland they have always known, beginning new lives in unfamiliar communities without extended family or friends nearby.
We want to change that.
Through our American Neighbor Network, we hope to connect Afrikaner families with welcoming American families who would be willing to share their Thanksgiving table, extend a hand of friendship, and introduce them to this beautiful American tradition.
For families who cannot be connected with an American host, The Bridge to Liberty hopes to provide grocery gift cards to help them prepare their own traditional Thanksgiving dinner or purchase a prepared holiday meal.
📷 OUR INITIAL GOAL IS 25 AFRIKANER FAMILIES ACROSS AMERICA!
But we don’t want to stop there! Depending on the response from participating families and the generosity of our donors, we may be able to expand this initiative to include even more families.
The more support we receive, the more Thanksgiving tables we can help fill!
📷 We are also inviting American churches, families, and individuals across the country to participate in our American Neighbor Network, a year-round initiative dedicated to building friendships, fellowship, and community connections for newly arrived Afrikaner families.
📷📷📷 A SPECIAL INVITATION TO OUR ESTABLISHED AFRIKANER FRIENDS!
Just because you arrived in America as a refugee doesn’t mean you cannot become an American Neighbor yourself!
If you have settled into your new life, are doing well, and are planning to celebrate Thanksgiving, we would love for you to consider joining the American Neighbor Network.
Perhaps you could welcome another Afrikaner family to your Thanksgiving table, help a newly arrived family navigate their community, or simply offer the friendship and encouragement that you may have appreciated when you first arrived.
You understand the journey because you’ve walked it yourself. Now you have an opportunity to help someone else along the way.
Our American Neighbor Network is about building a community where everyone has something meaningful to contribute.
📷 IMPORTANT REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT
All Afrikaner families wishing to receive Thanksgiving assistance through this initiative must first be registered with The Bridge to Liberty.
Once registered, families can sign in using their Bridge to Liberty registration number and password to select their Thanksgiving participation option.
American Neighbor Network volunteers who wish to host or assist must also complete the appropriate volunteer registration process.
📷 IMPORTANT DATES
📷 Registration Opens: October 21, 2026
📷 Registration Closes: November 8, 2026
📷 Thanksgiving Day: November 26, 2026
All Thanksgiving assistance is subject to available funding, eligibility, and local arrangements.
Americans and established Afrikaner refugees can participate by welcoming a family, assisting with meal delivery, or contributing toward Thanksgiving meals.
Thanksgiving is more than a meal. It is an opportunity to thank God for His blessings, share what we have, and extend friendship to those around us.
Our hope is that this becomes an annual tradition, creating relationships that last long after Thanksgiving Day.
Two Homelands. Shared Faith. One Thanksgiving.

The U.S. State Department is preparing to spend $335,000 to find out why Afrikaners aren't applying for its refugee program.
From the Department's own proposal:
"There's currently little research about why Afrikaners are not applying to request referral into the US Refugee Admissions Program."
Allow us to assist — free of charge.
They ARE applying. They applied, they were interviewed, they completed their medicals — and then they were deemed INELIGIBLE. No clear reasons. No meaningful appeal. Families left in limbo while their window closed.
Then the Department watched applications "trend lower than expected" — and budgeted $335,000 for focus groups, a survey of 1,000 Afrikaners, and a six-month ad campaign to figure out why.
We can save them every cent: this is a small, tight-knit community. Word travels. People stopped applying when they saw what happened to the ones who did.
Before recruiting new applicants into the same process, answer the question the focus groups will ask anyway:
Why were we deemed ineligible?
Answer the people already waiting. That's the whole survey.

THE BRIDGE TO LIBERTY | AMERIKANER JOB BRIDGE CLARIFICATION
The Amerikaner Job Bridge was not yet ready for its official rollout. Unfortunately, someone decided to bring an unfinished program into the public spotlight, creating unnecessary confusion and considerable controversy across social media before we had the opportunity to properly introduce it.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. A MESSAGE FROM THE BRIDGE TO LIBERTY.
Let me make something perfectly clear.
If you are not here to support our mission, and your only purpose is to attack, undermine, or disrupt the work we are doing, then move along.
The Bridge to Liberty was established to HELP PEOPLE. Period.
And there is something I want everyone to understand.
NOT ONE PERSON IN THIS ORGANIZATION IS BEING PAID. NOT ONE.
We are a newly incorporated Georgia nonprofit, and we are awaiting our IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter. Until we receive that determination and are able to pursue the grant funding we need, our organization is operating entirely through the dedication and generosity of volunteers.
These are people who have families, jobs, responsibilities, and lives of their own. Yet they willingly give their time, their knowledge, their experience, and their hearts to help complete strangers.
They are not collecting salaries. They are not receiving paychecks. They are showing up because they believe people deserve help.
And when you repeatedly attack The Bridge to Liberty, you are not just attacking me. You are attacking every single volunteer who has sacrificed their personal time to make this work possible.
I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO CONTINUE.
Long before The Bridge to Liberty was formally incorporated, our volunteers were working through the Incredible Ineligibles Coalition, researching cases, gathering information, advocating for families who had been deemed ineligible, and trying to bring attention to people desperately seeking answers.
We have accomplished a tremendous amount with very limited resources, and we continue to build programs to help newly arriving families establish themselves in America.
We have provided our Georgia nonprofit registration. We have provided our federal EIN. We have explained that our 501(c)(3) application was filed on October 9, 2026, and that we are awaiting the IRS determination.
We have answered the questions. We have provided the documentation. And we are finished going in circles with people who refuse to acknowledge it.
I believe strongly in freedom of speech. I have never liked blocking people simply because they disagree with me.
But freedom of speech does not give anyone an unlimited right to use our social media pages to harass our volunteers, repeat accusations, or deliberately interfere with our mission.
FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, ACCOUNTS ENGAGING IN PERSISTENT PERSONAL ATTACKS, TROLLING, BOT-LIKE BEHAVIOR, OR DELIBERATE DISRUPTION WILL BE BLOCKED.
No more endless arguments. No more defending the same facts repeatedly. No more allowing the dedication of good people to be dragged through the mud.
Respectful questions and constructive criticism will always be welcome.
But if you are here solely to tear down what we are trying to build, then you are in the wrong place.
IF YOU ARE NOT FOR US, AND YOUR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO WORK AGAINST US, THEN MOVE ALONG.
You do not have to donate. You do not have to volunteer. You do not have to agree with us.
But you will respect the people who are giving their time to help others, or you will no longer have a place on our pages.
WE HAVE PEOPLE TO HELP, FAMILIES TO SUPPORT, AND WORK TO DO.
We are not going to sacrifice our mission or the well-being of our volunteers to satisfy people who have no intention of engaging in good faith.
WE ARE MOVING FORWARD. WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL.
