Brunch Bunch with Marjan Keypour Greenblatt

For our next Adult Ed Brunch Bunch, Feb 23rd, 10am, we are focusing on the threat of Iran to both Israel and the US. Iran is one of the main sources of terrorism in the world today and as the Iranians get dangerously closer to building their own nuclear weapons, the threat of Iran is dramatically increasing. Yet Iran remains a mystery to most Americans. We are so excited to have Marjan Keypour Greenblatt, internationally recognized expert and activist on Iran, join us for brunch and share with us her insights on such issues as…
Making sense of the unrest in Iran
Why human rights of Iranians affect the national security of Americans
How Iran is the nuclear “island of instability”
How Iran is the key to securing peace in the Middle East, and
Why the human rights of women and minorities in Iran should concern patriotic Americans
Born in Iran, Marjan Greenblatt, wife of Jonathen Greenblatt (head of the ADL), is a human rights activist and advocate for minorities, women and dissidents in Iran. She heads both the Alliance for Rights of All Minorities (ARAM), an international network of activists, and StopFemicideIran. Marjan is a member of Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Task Force on Middle East Minorities. She is a scholar at the Middle East Institute, a DC think tank, and an advisory board member of the Atlantic Council’s Iran Strategy Project. A passionate musician, Marjan is a producer of HOMANITY, the first-of-its-kind compilation album featuring the music of banned and underground artists from Iran.
