Dear John,
[[link removed]] Last night, over 800 NIAC friends, supporters, and allies joined us for our first ever Virtual Gala and Fundraiser to reflect on all we've done in the past seven months and the important work that lies ahead in 2020.
From making moves with our allies to forever repeal the Muslim ban, to blocking Trump's attempts to start a with with Iran, we loved having the chance to celebrate all of YOU for your support and advocacy. And thanks to the generosity of our members, we hit our fundraising goal before the end of the night!
But not only did we get to celebrate our community, we also had the chance to honor and give thanks to some of the Iranian-American community's biggest champions. Make sure to check out their acceptance speeches below!
