PAAIA thanks @SenMarcoRubio for his support of the #MAHSAact and the rights of the Iranian people to #freeexpression. The international community and @FFM must continue on #freetomaj #expressionnotrepression
PAAIA thanks @SenMarcoRubio for his support of the #MAHSAact and the rights of the Iranian people to #freeexpression. The international community and @FFM must continue on #freetomaj #expressionnotrepression
The #MAHSAAct is officially law!👏🎉 Thanks to the efforts of the Iranian American community, the bill we've all been advocating for since #MahsaAmini's death has finally been signed into law by President Biden! paaia.org/CMS/we-did-it-…
After nearly two years of advocacy, the #MAHSAAct is just a step away from becoming law! Late last night, the legislation passed the Senate as part of a larger foreign aid package, and President Biden is expected to to sign it into law in the coming days! paaia.org/CMS/mahsa-act-…
The Senate just voted to limit debate on the Supplemental National Security Package that includes the #MAHSAAct! It will be voted on later tonight or tomorrow and is likely to pass with majority support! thehill.com/homenews/46157…
PAAIA's been in touch with @SenatorBaldwin about the #MAHSAAct and is grateful that the Senator chose to sign on as a cosponsor last week! This legislation is an impactful way to #SupporttheIranianPeople by holding regime leaders accountable for their human rights abuses.
Climate change is an intersectional issue that impacts us all. The Iranian people are already beginning to feel the consequences as they witness record-breaking temperatures & decreased rainfall. This #EarthDay, let's recognize the importance of protecting our one & only planet.
Last week, PAAIA met with @SenatorLankford to discuss the #MAHSAAct and other legislation, and this week the Senator has signed onto the bill as a cosponsor! Thank you Senator Lankford for taking action to #SupporttheIranianPeople!
Last week, PAAIA met with GOP elected officials to highlight the importance of the #MAHSAAct, #TFVA, & #InternetFreedom for our community! Thank you @SenatorLankford, @CoryMillsFL, @RepDonBacon, @RepBrianFitz, @ZachNunn & @RepFranklin for listening to our community’s concerns.
PAAIA met with several Democratic members of Congress last week to discuss the #MAHSAAct, #TFVA, and #InternetFreedom with Iran! Thank you @RepJeffries, @SenBlumenthal, @RepScottPeters, & @ChrisMurphyCT for meeting with us to hear the concerns of the Iranian American community.
The @OpenTechFund announced that it will provide support to circumvent censorship & increase internet access for up to 46 million users each month! #InternetFreedom helps #SupporttheIranianPeople who rely on these tools to communicate, share information, & organize movements!
PAAIA has been in contact with @RepGregLandsman's office about the Temporary Family Visitation Act (#TFVA) and its inclusion in the #DignityAct. We're grateful to see the Congressman signed on as the newest cosponsor of the legislation yesterday!
The original version of the #MAHSAAct has been added to the House foreign aid package which will be brought to a vote on Saturday! This is a fantastic opportunity to get the bill passed into law as the legislation's fate is now tied to Israel-Ukraine aid.
Today @SFRCdems passed the #MAHSAAct w/ additional amendments. PAAIA welcomes the advancement but prefers retention of the legislation’s original language. PAAIA also thanks @SenMarcoRubio & @SenAlexPadilla for introducing the bill in the Senate. paaia.org/CMS/senate-for…
PAAIA has been in contact with the office of @SenatorHick about the importance of supporting the #MASHAAct. We're so happy to see he signed on as a cosponsor yesterday! Tell your Senators to cosponsor the bill at p2a.co/FDuubK7
Thank you @RepMoskowitz for cosponsoring the #DignityAct which includes the Temporary Family Visitation Act within its text. The #TFVA would allow family members of US citizens & permanent residents to visit the US for up to 90 days. Learn more: PassTFVA.com
Thank you @SenatorRicketts for cosponsoring the #MAHSAAct last week! This crucial legislation, scheduled to be marked up in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tomorrow, will hold Islamic Republic leaders accountable for their human rights abuses and support for terrorism.
On the way to #CapitolHill to discuss the #MAHSAAct, #TFVA, and #InternetFreedom with Members of Congress!
PAAIA celebrates this extension of the FFMI & Special Rapporteur as an important step toward holding the Islamic Republic accountable for the atrocities it's committed against its citizens, especially those involved in the #WomanLifeFreedom movement. iranhumanrights.org/2024/04/intern…
Congratulations to Samira Burns who was recently named Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at @HHSGov!🎉 Burns is a long-time supporter of PAAIA with a long history of public service under her belt, and we are so proud to celebrate her latest achievement!

Some good news: after years of awareness raising & campaigns by high profile US-Iranians like @MazJobrani w/ community orgs like @NIACouncil @paaia leading, new US census enables us to identify origin as #Iranian. Proud of 2500 years of culture & originator of secularism.
This is huge. While I prefer using the term West Asian or Southwest Asian over Middle East, this is still incredibly impactful for our community. npr.org/2024/03/28/123…
Great news. The census will include checkboxes for “Hispanic or Latino” and “Middle Eastern or North African” (MENA) starting in 2030. Changes will apply to all federal collection of demographic data within five years. #MENA_Inclusion Act, AB 2763. Will do the same in CA.
While this isn't exactly what the community wanted, I'm proud to have worked on the MENA category. Good policymaking begins with good data. For background, a SCOTUS amicus: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1… And documents from a lawsuit v. OMB: brennancenter.org/our-work/court… #YallaCountMeIn
BREAKING: The #2030Census and federal surveys are getting new checkboxes for “Middle Eastern or North African” & “Hispanic or Latino” after White House’s @OMBPress approved the first changes to U.S. government standards on racial & ethnic data since 1997 federalregister.gov/public-inspect…
‼️IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT‼️ The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has officially added a “Middle Eastern or North African” (MENA) category! 🧵
The #MAHSAAct has been scheduled for an @SFRCdems markup. This triumph belongs to all of you, but I also want to dedicate it to #MahsaAmini, #SaraTabrizi, and the countless young Iranians bravely fighting for freedom in Iran. We won’t stop until Mahsa Amini’s name is U.S. law!
Here I urge the UN Human Rights Council to extend the mandate of the Fact Finding Mission on Iran and request they refer the findings of the report to the Security Council and to the International Criminal Court. #FFMIran @sec_council @UNHumanRights
