Hi John,
It took the House a full week of chaos to finally gavel into session this past Saturday, but you can bet that our work to advance the Iranian-American community will continue unimpeded.
Whether it's in the halls of Congress, or with administration officials, we have been building political power for our community. With the movement for freedom in Iran growing, that political power is more important than ever — as we unite to help the Iranian people fighting for self-determination.
As we head into a new session and a new year, our policy priorities include:
*
Expediting
visas
and
refugee
resettlement
to
Iranian
nationals
seeking
safety
and
security
outside
of
Iran.
The
U.S.
must
significantly
increase
its
processing
capacity
for
Iranian
nationals
who
are
at
risk
simply
for
speaking
up
for
their
rights.
This
includes
Iranian
students,
who
have
been
targeted
by
Iranian
security
forces
for
their
leadership
in
this
movement.
*
*
Allowing
Iranian-American
families
in
the
U.S.
to
send
remittances
to
their
family
in
Iran.
Remittances,
or
money
transfers
to
support
family
living
abroad,
are
a
tangible
way
the
Iranian-American
community
could
support
their
loved
ones
on
the
ground.
It
is
very
common
for
individuals
in
the
U.S.
to
support
family
in
other
countries
with
remittances,
including
in
heavily-sanctioned
Cuba.
Iranians
who
have
a
wage
earner
arrested
or
go
on
strike
are
at
double
risk
-
first
from
repression
from
the
government,
second
from
lost
income.
Remittances
could
help
backstop
this
and
thus
support
them
during
difficult
times.
Transactions
with
sanctioned
individuals
would
remain
forbidden
-
this
is
about
helping
ordinary
people
in
difficult
circumstances.
*
*
Urging
big
tech
companies
to
take
full
advantage
of
General
License
D-2
,
which
ensures
that
tech
companies
are
allowed
to
provide
critical
online
communications
tools
and
services
to
the
people
in
Iran,
including
anti-surveillance
technology.
Tech
companies
like
Google,
Amazon,
and
Microsoft
still
haven’t
made
significant
moves
to
expand
services
for
Iranians.
These
tech
giants
must
make
all
of
their
products
available
so
ordinary
Iranians
can
access
and
operate
virtual
private
networks
and
other
tools
that
allow
them
to
communicate
freely
in
spite
of
government
censorship.
