Atour Sargon ܐܬܘܪ ܣܪܓܘܢ

Today marks the 109th anniversary of the #Seyfo #Genocide. In 1915, hundreds of thousands of #Armenians, #Assyrians, and #Greeks lost their lives at the hands of the #Ottoman Empire and #Kurdish tribes.

Horrifying and tragic. My thoughts and prayers are with Mar Mari Emmanuel and the worshippers that were injured. 🙏🏽

Happy Assyrian New Year - 6774! Sharing pictures of Khab Nissan in Chicago throughout the years! Wishing everyone a very happy and blessed New Year! 🌼🌸🌻 My parents are featured in the first two photos. ❤️🤍💙 #assyrian #assyriannewyear #khabnissan

On Sunday, #Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson attended the #Assyrian New Year (ܚܕ ܒܢܝܣܢ) parade on King Sargon Boulevard (a part of Western Avenue). The New Year, year 6774, signifies the start of spring. Assyrians will officially mark the occasion on April 1. 📸: chicagosmayor

Here's to a month of celebrating women's history and continuing the legacy of empowerment! #WomensHistoryMonth #EmpowerWomen #illinoisdemocrats

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey towards empowering women in politics! And a very special shoutout to my exceptional class of 2019 delegates – Lisbeth Leanos, Sandy Hart, Adreinne Irmer, and Colleen Kilbride.

Absolutely thrilled to start Women's History Month alongside my incredible IWILTA sisters, dedicated board members, and the inspiring 2024 delegates.

A major injustice against Assyrians and other minorities in Iraq. #assyrian

The moment when Yonadam Kanna, veteran Iraqi politician and former leader of the ADM, walks out of a sham interview. The ADM represents Assyrians recovering from genocide whose seats in parliament are stolen, and he's asked why he's always complaining. No words left.

MP Fareed Yaqoob (Deputy Secretary General) and a delegation from our Movement's Illinois Sector met with representatives from the Assyrian Policy Institute to discuss conditions of our people and to brief each other on the activities of the respective groups.

God forbid they write the word #Assyrian in the headline for an article about ancient Assyrian art. @SmithsonianMag @smithsonian

💔 Please donate to help Assyrians who survived this couple’s wedding fire in N Iraq. Iraqi authorities are largely unable to meet the moment and help those with severe burn wounds and other injuries—children included. How to help? Donate @assyrianaid, @ShlamaF & @NinevehRising

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Bakhdida during this tragic time. Donate below @ShlamaF or @assyrianaid.

We stand in solidarity with our Armenian friends and colleagues.

NTDU Summer Soirée! #demcrew

#assyrian #assyriangenocide

This year, I brought forth a Proclamation in the Village of Lincolnwood recognizing August 7th as Assyrian Remembrance Day and also worked along Cook County Commisisoner, Josina Morita, to bring forth a Resolution recognizing August 7th as Assyrian Remembrance Day in Cook County.

Honoring and remembering those we have lost to genocide and other mass atrocities today and always. Proud to use my capacity as an elected official to bring awareness to issues impacting the Assyrian community.
