Dear John,
Chilling bills in Florida [[link removed]] and Texas [[link removed]] are moving forward to discriminate against our community's rights, and we urgently need your support to fight them. A new wave of legislation has begun to crop up in states across the country that would ban Iranian, Chinese, Russian, and North Korean immigrants from the right to buy a home.
If these property bans become law, it will cast a shadow of discrimination and ethnic profiling over Iranian Americans and many others in this country .
The Florida bill has already passed the State Senate and is advancing rapidly in the House. Meanwhile, the Texas Bill has advanced out of committee and NIAC is organizing with a broad coalition [[link removed]] of national and local organizations to prevent the bill from being passed into law.
Help power our work to protect civil rights [[link removed]] This is a dangerous slippery slope, and we must act now to prevent further targeting on the Federal level. As we move closer and closer to the 2024 election, both the Florida and Texas bills risk causing a domino effect, encouraging government-sponsored housing discrimination against our community and anyone perceived as being from an "enemy" country.Defeating this effort takes time and resources. We need your help to ensure we have enough funding for our organizers, to conduct expert analysis, to brief reporters and meet with local lawmakers, and to plan for potential legal efforts against these bills .

Together, we can protect Iranian Americans and all Americans from a new wave of xenophobic bans that restrict our rights. But we cannot succeed if we do not have your support.
Thank you for your dedication to standing up for Iranian Americans and the values that unite us all. Donate [[link removed]]
In solidarity,
Jamal Abdi President, NIAC
