NAAPR (New American Alliance For Policy & Research), in collaboration with Peyvand nonprofit, Kabul Washington Bridge and a coalition of other community-based organizations, will convene the New Americans Legislative Education and Advocacy Day at the Washington State Capitol on Thursday, February 27, 2025. We hope you'll be able to join us to advocate with and on behalf of our refugees and other displaced people.

Our goal is to increase refugees’ visibility, contributions and challenges.

Know Your Place is a slice-of-life drama set in present-day Seattle. Robel Haile (15, Eritrean-American) and his best friend Fahmi Tadesse (15, Ethiopian-American) embark on a journey to drop off a suitcase with medicine and cash to a friend traveling back to Eritrea because of a family member’s sudden illness. An unexpected turn transmutes Robel’s simple errand into an odyssey across the rapidly gentrifying city, navigating directions to make his delivery on time, along with the challenges of familial responsibility, self-identification, and dislocation amid the ongoing redevelopment and displacement of the only community he’s ever known as home.

Join KCLS & Peyvand Non-Profit Organization for a children’s storytelling and artmaking session that celebrates Shab-e Yalda (Yalda Night), a Persian holiday dating back thousands of years that welcomes the winter solstice & brighter days ahead triumphing light over darkness.

Join us on 12/8/24 4:00 pm at the UW Bothell Campus Discovery Hall 061 for the screening of Alborz: We Climb Mountains (2023, 86 mins.), which tells the story of the school during many tumultuous years in Iran’s modern history, from the perspectives of its graduates, teachers, and even Dr. Mojtahedi’s own voice from archival recordings; it tells it with humor, fondness, and nostalgia for a bygone era. It exemplifies what has been lost in the years since the 1979 Revolution and why today so many among the bright and promising young Iranians sound critical of current policies and administrative mishandling of one of their country’s once top educational institutions.

Join our talented local artist, Kameh Saman, for an exciting painting session and valuable lessons on creating your own masterpiece.
