Demystifying Democracy: The Seven Ingredients of Influence

A non-partisan workshop at U.C. Hastings to build Iranian-American
influence in America

Sponsored by the NIAC with the generous support of the Iranian Law Student Association at U.C. Hastings  

The political system affects Iranian Americans in many ways, ranging from the way we are treated here in the U.S. to the way foreign policy affects our families and loved ones in Iran.

Come learn how YOU can gain political influence and how the Iranian-American community can become a political force. 

Learn how to :
• influence policy beyond voting and donating money
• frame an issue for maximum impact on an intended audience
• write effective letters to be published by newspaper and magazine editors
• set up meetings with your elected officials
•conduct voter registration drives
