The Baha’i Faith’s Lost Order Cooperation with American Institutions in Developing Human Rights Activities Against Iran
?The Baha’i Public Affairs Office of the United States and the Aspen Institute’s Office of Religion and Society Program in the United States have begun a new collaboration and launched a joint project entitled “Exploring Spiritual Insights into America’s Evolving Story.”
?The first step in this project is the publication of a collection of articles entitled “Religious Perspectives on American Narratives.”
♦️The Baha’i Office in the United States is expanding its activities in constructing “Narratives of America,” which it began with the American Narratives Institute before Aspen, and the collaboration with Aspen is another part of this project.
?The main goal of this project is to answer the question, “How can diverse communities move beyond fragmented narratives of the past to create a shared vision of the future that fosters unity and respects truth?”
?The American Narratives Project documents the real lives of people in different parts of the United States, often by collecting written stories, audio interviews, and video documentaries. These efforts are particularly aimed at creating a space for the voices of people who are often ignored in mainstream historical narratives to be heard.
?The project works to make the voices of minorities and those who are usually less considered in official and media narratives heard. The institution seeks to record and share the stories and experiences of different groups in American society, including racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural minorities.
?The reason for the Baha’is’ participation in this project can be traced to learning about the processes of strengthening minority voices in the international arena. The lost Baha'i sect can explore the potential of this project to expand it to sectarian communities in Iran.
♦️Sect groups such as Baha'i, Ahmad al-Hassan, Erfan Halgheh, etc. can use the potential of this narrative analysis and inflict new blows on Iran's international image in the field of human rights.
