"Appalled by recent events that attempted to thwart the machinery of democracy; and instead, advance both physically and symbolically, an autocratic mob-driven takeover of the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC,” the Federation of 
Zoroastrian Associations of North America (FEZANA) issued a public statement condemning the dastardly attack incited by outgoing US President Donald Trump. "This egregious act is unacceptable in the 2021 western diaspora, and goes against the grain of everything that is American. If this sad blemish on America has demonstrated anything, it is that freedom is earned and delicate, requiring vigilance and responsible stewardship to survive and thrive,” declared the FEZANA communiqué.
Some Zoroastrians who migrated to the West "to flee oppression, fascism and authoritarian regimes… did so with the hope of living freely in America in a democracy that has been revered and referred to as that Shining City on a Hill. For centuries, the United States has nurtured democracy and served as an example for the world to emulate.”
Praying for "light over darkness, for the forces of good to triumph over evil, and for a return to truth and righteousness during this period of unprecedented division,” FEZANA was optimistic that the incoming administration under President elect Joe Biden will "return the country to its better angels and ideals, and diffuse the rhetoric, divisiveness and racism that permeates today within a dangerous and lingering undercurrent of society… Now the country stands on the precipice of a new era: a time to rekindle healing, neighborliness and kindness.”
