Dear John,

Our generation of Iranian Americans is becoming politically active like never before. 

Over the past three weeks, I've had the opportunity to join phonebanks with over 100 NIAC Action volunteers who are conducting the largest Iranian-American voter outreach campaign in history. It is electrifying to be in the same room -- well, the same Zoom session -- with dozens of fellow Iranian Americans who are passionate about politics, representation, and making sure our community votes.

Meanwhile, we have a record number of Iranian Americans running for office this November. From education boards to city councils to state legislatures to Congress, our community is on the ballot. And it is so crucial, whether it is our first generation who has enjoyed so much economic success, or the millennials and gen z-ers like myself, that we all do what we can to support our fellow Iranian Americans who have taken the leap to run for office.

I am inspired and I hope you too can be a part of this. We have two critifcal fundraising asks to support these efforts:

First, will you make a tax-deductible donation to support our voter outreach efforts? We have the volunteers in place, we have the know-how and the network, but we still need more resources if we are going to successfully contact the over 300,000 Iranian American voters in this country and ensure they get out to vote.

Second, please consider making your own contribution to our amazing Iranian-American candidates running for state and local office. You can learn more about them here. Your contribution is an investment not just in winning these elections in November, but an investment in our community's future leaders and the political power of Iranian Americans for the next generation.

Together, we can restore the dream of this country and ensure that Iranian Americans are part of a brighter future. But that means everyone must do their part, and I hope you will open up your wallet and make an investment today.

In Solidarity,

Jamal Abdi
President, NIAC
