🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July!

For Kurdish Americans, Independence Day is more than a celebration. It's a reminder of the freedoms that many of us or our families were denied in our homeland. America has given generations of Kurdish immigrants the opportunity to live in liberty, raise families, and contribute to their communities while proudly preserving their Kurdish identity.

As we celebrate today, we also remember those around the world who are still striving for freedom and dignity.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸❤️☀️💚
