About Iranian American Community of Northern California

Iranian American Community of Northern California is a non-profit, non-partisan, all-volunteer organization representing the Iranian Americans in Northern California. As a responsible community, we have been educating our representatives, the community and the media on priorities important to our community that serves the best interest of our Community, American people, and the global community.

Though our members may have different interest and political affiliation, we are all united for a free Iran with no version of the current regime since its legitimacy is not derived from Iranian people and a true, transparent ballot box. The current regime should, therefore, be changed organically by the Iranian people in a peaceful manner. We believe this serves peace, prosperity and the security of global community, the region, and Iran.

The Iranian American Community of Northern California is an association of Iranians who believe it is our responsibility to use the freedoms and power we have in this country to be the voice of the oppressed people of Iran. We are against the theocratic regime of Iran, and believe that Iran should be a democratic secular republic. We are against any form of military intervention in Iran, however we do not believe any form of dialogue will benefit the Iranian people. We believe the correct policy is to support the Iranian people and their resistance in their movement for democratic organic change in Iran.

We feel it is the responsibility of all Iranians living outside of Iran to take advantage of their blessing and freedom of speech and represent the Iranian population whose voice has been cut off. We, like the majority of Iran’s population strongly oppose the theocratic dictatorship that is terrorizing Iranians at home as well as the entire Middle Eastern region. This regime has been cited over 65 times by the United Nations for human rights violations. At this point in time there continues to be executions of minors, stoning, public hangings, torture, and no freedom of expression or speech. The government continues to control life and treat women as second-class citizens. The Iranian people have been struggling for decades to realize their dream of an independent, secular, democratic country. We oppose all forms of dictatorship, whether it is a monarchy or a theocracy. We call for a democratically elected, secular, non-nuclear republic in Iran.
