Kurdish American Caucus
Established on May 23, 2008 by US Congressmen Lincoln Davis (D-Tennessee) and Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina), the Kurdish American Congressional Caucus is a bipartisan Congressional committee focusing on US-Kurdish relations, understanding Kurdish culture, and addressing overarching issues important to Kurdish-Americans in the U.S. and elsewhere. The KACC pays special recognition to Kurds in the U.S. and the diaspora, their contributions to the United States and in Iraq, highlighting the necessity to promote their rights as an ethnic minority.
