Our office is one of many organizations that are investing in the discourse about narratives of America as one way to help us move forward as a country. To this end, since 2022 we have been engaging ever larger numbers of individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives in the Narratives of America Project, conversations about how we can co-create the narratives of America that we need. In this video, PJ Andrews, our office's Director of Discourse shares further. #narrativesofamerica #story #discourse #america #unity
Bahaβi Cemetery in Rafsanjan Targeted by Authorities
The Rafsanjan BahΓ‘βΓ cemetery has been under official attack by local authorities, who claim that the spacing between existing graves is too wide and are now forcing BahΓ‘βΓs to bury their loved ones in the limited gaps between them.
Authorities have further restricted the cemeteryβs use by digging a trench around the graves, blocking access for excavation equipment. They have also imposed discriminatory burial fees, despite the BahΓ‘βΓ community covering all associated costs.
The site, allocated in 2001, still lacks basic infrastructure due to repeated denial of construction permits. BahΓ‘βΓs continue to fight for their right to dignified burials.

Aren't you ashamed, @united -- selling one way tickets out of Florida for USD1,000? The least you could do is charge the minimal amount needed to cover the cost of fuel and salaries of those working. Disgusting.
I can't tell you how much I LOVE your Penny Draws series, @sarabooks. It addresses important issues beautifully and in a way that makes it easy to talk about with a six year old. I really hope you'll keep adding titles to this series!
@daily_romania@ChilesJordan Terrible comment. She didn't cheat. If there is fault to assign, it should be assigned to the judges. Shame in you for bullying.
@MsMonicaAlves Hahahaha good point! To be fair all of social media seems to be a potential dumpster fire depending on the side you fall on. Twitter will always be where I found my Fringe fam
