Alireza Ahmadian was an Iranian-Canadian socio-political activist, journalist, researcher and opinion leader working in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. A close friend of VAHMS, Alireza organized events and discussions around the issues of democracy, immigration, anti-racism and empowerment for immigrant communities. Alireza’s dream was for all humans with diverse beliefs and interests to converse respectfully and constructively, and to seek peace and unity instead of war and destruction. In this event we will learn more about Alireza’s ideals around diversity, dialogue, unity, integration and inclusion of immigrant communities.
