Chonky Animals at IRF Summit D.C.: Supporting Yezidi Women and Girls

Last week at IRF Summit in Washington, D.C., our Chonky Animals sold out on the very first day! We’re still blown away and thankful to everyone who showed up to support the Yezidi women and girls in Iraq who made them 

Our Executive Director had the pleasure of meeting with world-renowned Dr. Richard Zoumalan and discuss why it’s so important to keep shining a light on the Yezidi community and other religious and ethnic minorities in the region. Thank you, Dr. Zoumalan, for your support and we hope your family enjoys the Chonkys.

We were also happy to reconnect with longtime friends and allies Diyar Kurda from Rudaw and Ewelina Ochab, both tireless advocates for communities facing persecution because of their religion or identity.

So much solidarity, so many good conversations — we’re grateful for everyone who keeps showing up for our community!
