We support a unified Iraq.
We ask for special protection for the Indigenous Christians of Iraq.
We ask for the Iraqi security forces to protect our people.
We ask for the U.S. Congress to approve Legislation to Help our people. (HR 944)
We ask that Indigenous Christian lands be reserved so that the millions that have fled have a place to return to.
Save the world's oldest civilization.
Suffering wave after wave of ethnic cleansing in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003, the indigenous Christian community of Iraq is near the brink of extinction in the land it has occupied since the great city-states and empires of Mesopotamia. Its numbers have dwindled from the millions to approximately 600,000 as its people flee the violence and persecution in hopes of gaining asylum in the West. This community faces constant threats, kidnappings, rapes, murders, bombings, and massacres in the major cities by Islamic fundamentalists and faces poverty and oppression in the North, its ancestral homeland. With no militia, security forces, or alliances, this ancient community is left helpless as it is driven out of its indigenous lands.
We are targeted for our ethnic and religious identity. WE WILL NOT BE SILENT.
Iraqi Christians make up nearly half of Iraqi refugees but less than 1% of Iraq's population. We need to stand up together, in this WORLDWIDE protest on Monday and try and be heard. The media will be there and, in Detroit, we will be rallying in front of the McNamara Federal Building, 477 Michigan Ave.
Invite all of your family, from your children to your grandparents! Invite all of your friends! Invite all of your co-workers! Invite all of your neighbors! Invite all of the organizations, media and politicians that you are associated with! Invite all of your churches, mosques, temples, etc...!
The Assyrian Christians are an innocent and unprotected people. We need a unified World front to shed light on our people before we no longer have a homeland!
Join us in our march on Monday, Nov. 8th at 11:30am
