This is also a great option for consultants: https://miles4migrants.org
In addition to supporting credible charitable aid groups, it would be good to vote against foreign policy hawks, neocons, etc.
You can also call and voice your support to your local / national politicians.
Some already posted above, but here’s a compiled list including Bay Area that you can share to your network:
1. Pledge to https://miles4migrants.org/donate/ once individual flights are identified: https://thepointsguy.com/news/afghanistan-miles4migrants/ can use them to book flights for vetted refugees on your behalf.
