Uniting for Change: Amplifying the Voices of Assyrians Worldwide

The Assyrian community is a vibrant and resilient group with a rich history and culture that spans thousands of years. Despite facing numerous challenges and threats to their identity and existence, Assyrians have continued to persevere and fight for their rights and recognition on the global stage.

In reflecting on our journey, we’ve seen how past efforts have shaped our understanding of what truly drives change for Assyrians. Years of working alongside Assyrian non-profits and advocates have taught us that fragmented efforts, while well-intentioned, often fall short. The Assyrian Action Coalition emerged from this realization, seeking to create synergy by fostering collaboration and focusing on strategies that yield meaningful impact.

Today, we’re building on those lessons by creating spaces where Assyrian non-profits and advocates can come together to share ideas and innovate solutions. Our work focuses on amplifying our collective voice, ensuring that every initiative—whether it’s advocating for our rights or preserving our cultural heritage—reflects the needs of our global community. We’ve learned to engage directly with those who can help shape a better future, prioritizing precision over scattered efforts.

Looking ahead, we envision a movement where collaboration becomes the cornerstone of our progress, creating a lasting legacy for Assyrians worldwide. By continuing to innovate and connect with agents of change, we can address the challenges facing our community with renewed clarity and purpose. This shared journey invites reflection and action, as we strive to build a stronger, more vibrant future together.
