Give to Immigrant Rights for Giving Tuesday!

OneAmerica has been my movement and political home for the last decade. As the proud daughter of immigrants, my entire life I have searched for a place in which I could turn the pain and hardship my family experienced leaving their home country of Iran to power and transformational change. . Over the last 20+ years, OneAmerica has grown into one of the most powerful immigrant rights organizations in the nation. I, along with so many of you, have been a big part of that growth. I started as an intern (baby Rox at my first immigrant rally in my profile pic) at OneAmerica in 2009, and in 2021 stepped into the role of Executive Director. OneAmerica is where I learned about the power of organizing and found a path for my own personal and professional leadership and growth. 

Waking up to a second Trump presidency was terrifying and angering but knowing, I and so many others are a part of OneAmerica gave me hope. Hope that we can build a movement rooted in our experiences as immigrants. Hope that we will not only defend and protect but make Washington the best place for immigrants in the nation.  

As a new mom to my son Omid, I have been reflecting on how fortunate I am to have made OneAmerica my movement, organizing and political home. To have the opportunity to be invested in and to invest in others. To wake up every day thinking about how we build power for immigrants and build a better democracy. To create a thriving home for immigrants and refugees. That's why I chose to lead with OneAmerica and invite you to invest in our work and our future.

Together we can create a thriving home for immigrants and refugees even during a time where immigrants are under attack. Because we believe immigrants deserve not only to survive, but to thrive. 

To get there, we must fight for direct things that make a difference in immigrants' lives. Expanding unemployment insurance to include undocumented workers. Providing safety and support to newly arrived migrants. Making childcare affordable and accessible.  

Please join me in supporting OneAmerica to build the world as it should be and fight back.

Together we can build power in immigrant communities in Washington state and beyond!
