Who We Are

The American Kurdish Committee (AKC), founded in 2023, is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Its mission is to raise awareness about our Kurdish allies and enhance the essential partnership between the Kurds and the United States. The AKC is launching numerous programs designed to raise awareness about the Kurds, help build support in Congress and beyond, and sponsor educational programs across the country, with the overarching goal of advancing America’s national interests in the Middle East.
