Nëse drejton një dhomë tregtie, një famulli, një fondacion, ose ke peshë në komunitetin tënd — emri yt pranë emrit tonë në regjistër e kthen këtë nga projekt në institucion.
Zinxhiri është i shkurtër: mbështetja jote → komuniteti yt i beson regjistrit → ata regjistrohen → komuniteti shqiptaro-amerikan bëhet i dukshëm para institucioneve që vendosin për qasjen gjuhësore, kategoritë federale të të dhënave, dhe njohjen. Dukshmëria është hapi i parë; fitoret e njohjes vijnë nga organizim i qëndrueshëm mbi një numërim të besueshëm, jo nga vetë numërimi. Lexo kornizën e ndershme →

“This endeavor is long overdue, as the undercounting of Albanian Americans costs us in so many ways. Applaud the work of these fine folks to reveal and validate our presence in this great nation.”
Richard Lukaj
Senior Managing Director, Bank Street Group
“What an amazing initiative Ervin. I hope we all sign up and be counted.”
Daniel Blloshmi

We support this organization because its mission aligns with our belief that when Albanians come together with purpose and pride, we are stronger together.”
“I proudly endorse the National Albanian Registry Organization as one of the first major initiatives with the potential for long-lasting and broader impact on the Albanian community.

“Lets count every Albanian in the USA! 🇦🇱”
Violetta Berisha
“AlbanianRegistry.org is more than a registry — it is a declaration that our community matters, our stories count, and our presence deserves to be recognized. For too long, our numbers have been estimated by others. This gives us the opportunity to define ourselves, preserve our legacy, and strengthen our future together.”
Iliriana Sela
“Great intiative on documenting our presence so our story isn’t lost.”
Albanian American National Organization
“Proud Albanian-American advocating for unity and progress”
Arlind Lela
Executive Board Member/Shoqata Atdhetare Dibra
“I proudly and strongly support the National Albanian Registry as a vital step toward uniting and empowering Albanians everywhere. Its presence in the United States is a powerful commitment to preserving our heritage, honoring our identity, and strengthening our legacy for generations to come.”
Nilda Salavaçi
“The National Albanian Registry will give us a more accurate and far richer view of our community. Better information enables us to better coordinate, strengthen our ties, and carry our heritage forward as Albanian Americans.”
Leart Ulaj
“I am honored to support this initiative. When Albanians come together, we can achieve anything.”
Samantha Sarelli
Miss Globe USA 2025
“I proudly support the National Albanian Registry as a meaningful step toward uniting Albanians across America and strengthening our collective voice for generations to come.”
Eljona Shkreli
“Feja e shqiptarit asht Shqiptaria.”
Nalvi Duro
AANO President
“Always supporting our community and my heritage proudly. Never forget where you are from.”
Flamur Zymeraj
Producer/DJ
“I came to America in 1992 from a country that had just stopped being closed. Three decades later, I've watched our community grow without ever being counted — by institutions, by politicians, even by each other.
There are more Albanians outside Albania than inside it, and we still don't know how many of us are here. Every number we've ever had came from someone else's form. Counting ourselves is a sovereignty act. The first count is the first step.”
“I support the National Albanian Registry as an effort to bring Albanians across America closer together, with the hopes to focus on engaging our youth and building lasting connections that will carry our community forward for generations to come.”
Dibran Begu
“Stronger communities start with better data and connection.”
Dimitra Potsi
“It is important to create a national database of Albanian-Americans”
Mark Kosmo
Chair, Global Albanians Foundation
“SAPS proudly supports this important step toward uniting, empowering, and strengthening our Albanian community.”
Shoqata Akademike dhe Profesionale Shqiptare (SAPS)
“Great project. It’s a great idea, it’s very important to gather information so we can help each other more. More we know about each other , easier to help each other.”
“I fully endorse this project and is a strong project for our community!”
Dzemal Lanica
President
“People hesitate to share their information — that was my experience during the 2010 Census. I do endorse this effort. Getting counted in a census, of any kind, means more bragging rights and more power.”
“it’s time we put our true numbers on the map to show exactly how much our collective voice matters in America.”
Rinor Komoni
Founder
“I fully endorse and support this important community effort to accurately identify and document the Albanian American population across the United States. Reliable demographic data is essential to strengthening our communities, increasing representation, and improving advocacy efforts at every level of government. This initiative will also help Albanian American organizations better compete for grants and resources that can support long-term community growth and impact.”
“Albanians For America proudly supports the mission of the National Albanian Registry and the importance of collecting accurate data on Albanian Americans across the United States. Reliable population counts within congressional districts are critical to building stronger advocacy efforts and ensuring our community is properly represented where policy decisions are made. By identifying and documenting the growth and presence of Albanian Americans nationwide, the Registry helps strengthen our collective voice and long-term political influence.”
“I endorse the National Albanian Registry as a vital step toward uniting Albanians across America and strengthening our voice for generations to come.”
Mbështetjet janë publike — emri juaj dhe një rresht "pse" bashkohen me të tjerët në këtë faqe pasi i shqyrtojmë. Çdokush mund të aplikojë: një organizatë shqiptaro-amerikane, një organizatë komunitare, një dhomë tregtie, ose një individ fjala e të cilit ka peshë në komunitet.
501(c)(3) e regjistruar. Tetë themelues — çdo emër, rol dhe votë publike. Diasporë e përzier: të lindur në Shqipëri dhe në SHBA. Statuti është ndërtuar që asnjë person i vetëm të mos kontrollojë.
Asnjë shtet nuk është i detyruar të printojë fletëvotim shqip — shqipja s'është në listën e Aktit për të Drejtat e Votës, dhe s'ka qenë që nga 1975. Asnjë kuti shqiptare në Census, vetëm një rresht ku e shkruan vetë e që shumica e anashkalojnë. Pak programe shqiptaro-amerikane financohen ashtu si komunitetet më të mëdha e të numëruara. Secila prej tyre fillon kur komuniteti shqiptar bëhet i dukshëm para institucioneve që vendosin — dhe komuniteti më i gjerë është afër një milioni, shumë më shumë sesa tregon numri zyrtar. Numërimi i drejtuar nga komuniteti i NAR-it rri pranë Censusit; emri yt ndihmon të tregohet numri i vërtetë.
Gjysmë. Çerek. Brezi i tretë. Të gjithë numërohen.
Shumica e të regjistruarve nuk e flasin shqipen rrjedhshëm. Shumë nuk i kanë takuar gjyshërit shqiptarë. Censusi humbet këdo që nuk është 100% i sigurt se "kualifikohet." Emri yt e mbyll këtë boshllëk.
