Hi John,
2022 has been a very difficult year for our entire community but, as leaders of NIAC’s Organizing Department, we are so proud of what our volunteers across the country have accomplished and are looking forward to next year.
We’ve spent thousands of hours this year with our volunteers – setting up meetings with Members of Congress, organizing community-building events, and taking action that makes a difference in the lives of our community.

We will keep working hard for and giving a voice to our Iranian-American community, regardless of what new challenges come up.
But to do that, we need resources. Effective political advocacy work requires money to get things done and our advancement team has told us that we need to hit an end of year fundraising goal of $50,000. Please help us meet this critical goal to allow our department to recruit more people, set more meetings with Congress, and generate more actions.
