A reminder that the many challenges facing Assyrians in their ancestral lands don’t often make the headlines. From displacement to the destruction of cultural heritage, the survivability of this ancient people is being threatened. Comment below to add anything we missed. ⬇️

"Assyria A.D. is a riveting, eye-opening journey into the history of Assyrian cultural identity, and delves into the theological convictions, doctrinal beliefs, and faith practices of an ancient, resilient people." — @ACSSU

Today is the final day to complete the Census❗️ Please talk to your family and ensure that one person fills out the Census form for the household. It takes ~10 minutes to fill out. That 10 minutes can change the way Assyrians are represented for the next 5 years.
As we remember and honor the memory of millions of Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians who lost their lives to genocide at the hands of Ottoman Turkey, we recognize the resilience of the survivors and their descendants and renew our pledge to seek justice.

Genocide is more than just a word. It represents all meaning and action to follow, and determines how the issue will be treated in the future.

Standing in solidarity with #Armenians 🤝🇦🇲 thanks @ACSSU for always representing #Assyrian youth in Canada.
We want to stand in solidarity with the global #Armenian community. We are saddened to hear about the recent political decision regarding #Artsakh's future in the hands of the Azeri government. Yet we are moved by the resilience and perseverance of the Armenian people....(1/2)
