Dear John,
As we move into the latter half of 2024, there is a lot at stake for the Iranian-American community. Working to prevent war and resolve underlying tensions is not just about stopping unfathomable death and destruction, it is also important to protect our civil rights here at home. Even as we work for peace and a ceasefire in Gaza and to prevent warhawks from achieving their dream of a broader war with Iran [[link removed]] , we are keeping up momentum to defend our community’s civil rights.
John, we need your support to continue this vital work.
We are currently $3,903.72 short of our August fundraising goal, and with the month-end deadline almost here, we can close the gap with your help.
will you contribute to help us close the gap? [[link removed]]
It is essential that NIAC remains a powerful, organized voice advancing peace and defending Iranian-American civil rights.
As a grassroots organization, fueled by the generosity of members like you, we have been able to:
*
Achieve
recognition
for
Iranian
Americans
in
the
U.S.
Census
–
which
finally
bore
fruit

this
year
–
securing
a
critical
foundation
for
our
community’s
civic
and
political
future.


*
Continue
to
challenge
discriminatory
bank
account
closures
[[link removed]]
,
including
through
engagement
with
key
administration
officials.


*
Combat
the
resurgence
of
alien
land
laws
[[link removed]]
,
building
momentum
for
policy
change
to
end
a
newly
popular
form
of
discrimination
against
our
community
and
others.
And through it all, we are continuing to work as part of a broad coalition for peace in order to secure a ceasefire and prevent war from entangling the U.S. and Iran. With your help, we can build on this progress and continue to stand strong against those who seek to lay the groundwork for war and strip our community’s basic rights away.
