Here's the deal. #Iran faces a health crisis & US sanctions prevent it from accessing humanitarian relief it urgently needs. Now is not the time to play politics. Act NOW & urge Trump to ensure sanctions don't hamper Iran's ability to combat #coronavirus

The same architects of the disastrous Iraq war are plotting yet another war—this time with Iran. Iranian Americans must rise up and say #NoWarWithIran !

NIAC and NIAC Action are independent organizations. We *DO NOT* receive money from any government and take pride in our transparency. We are funded by reputable foundations, ordinary Iranian Americans, and Americans who support peace and civil rights.

Today we're hosting a conversation on US-Iran relations between Professor Noam Chomsky and our very own Dr. @AssalRad at the University of Arizona. Follow this thread as we live tweet their thoughts!

We've contacted @Etsy re: its apparently discriminatory treatment of a U.S. vendor selling "Persian dolls” on its site. These dolls appear to have been made in U.S. w American materials by an American & should not have been flagged as a prohibited item.

Im really disappointed that @Etsy would remove my mothers handmade Persian dolls made in America w/ fabrics and materials sourced in America and claim that the dolls infringe on the sanctions placed against Iran. These acts in light of everything going on shouldnt be tolerated

مشکل تحریم‌ها فقط این نیست که بی‌اثرند. بلکه اعمال تحریم‌ها بر روی مردم ایران خلاف اصول اخلاقی است چون تحریم‌ها به مردم عادی آسیب می‌زنند و قدرت تمامیت‌خواهان را بیشتر می‌کنند.

The amendment adopted today is a critical step to mitigate the ongoing harm of Trump’s outrageous & discriminatory immigration orders. @RepGraceMeng , @RepEspaillat , @RepRoybalAllard , @RepJudyChu & @RitchieTorres should be commended for their vital work on this important issue.

Only a few days remain for the State Department to issue the remaining immigrant visas to the winners of the 2021 Diversity Green Card Lottery program. Out of 55,000 #DVs allotted by Congress, the State Department has so far issued fewer than 14,000.

Mr. Ronaghi, again, we welcome your freedom and your right to speak your mind. But you are wholly mistaken concerning our organization, which is an Iranian-American organization focused on U.S. policy composed of members that loathe the abuses committed by the regime.

You don't advance democratic values, u have ur grip on my throat and that of Iranian people & keep tightening it. As the lobbyists of this regime, u play a role in suppressing people like me. U're our oppressors & the enemies of the free world. Take your hands off of our throats.

The U.S. has made a commitment to offering these visas to these people who would benefit tremendously from it, only to have it snatched away by a discriminatory immigration system.

"When my father passed away in 2018 my family was already devastated. But adding to my mother’s pain was the knowledge that her sister in Iran was banned from comforting her & helping prepare for the funeral" Powerful words by NIAC volunteer Ali Scotten⬇️
