June 1, 2026 — Washington, D.C.
At AJC Global Forum 2026, Iranian-American journalist, activist, and author Masih Alinejad shares her powerful fight against the Iranian regime’s oppression and censorship. Through years of fearless advocacy, she has become a leading voice for freedom, women’s rights, and human dignity—inspiring people around the world to stand up against tyranny and defend democratic values.
As one of the most outspoken opponents of the Islamic regime in Tehran, Alinejad received AJC’s Moral Courage Award in 2022. American Jewish Committee (AJC) has been sounding the alarm for years about the Iranian regime’s pervasive human rights abuses; its repeated calls for the annihilation of Israel, and support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations; pursuit of nuclear weapons capability; and interference in the internal affairs of countries across the Middle East.
