About Iranian American Community of Tennessee

Based in Nashville, TN, the Iranian American Community of Tennessee (IAC-TN) brings together Iranian-Americans and concerned Tennesseans united by a shared commitment to civic engagement, cultural preservation, and human rights advocacy. As a nonprofit organization rooted in bipartisan principles, IAC-TN serves as a vital bridge between the Iranian-American diaspora and the broader Nashville community, fostering understanding and dialogue across cultural and political lines. The organization's mission centers on promoting the cultural wealth of the Iranian diaspora while advancing core democratic values through meaningful community participation. IAC-TN creates spaces for intergenerational connection, allowing families to celebrate Persian traditions and educate younger generations about their heritage while remaining actively engaged in American civic life. Through collaborative partnerships with religious leaders, community organizers, and human rights advocates, IAC-TN addresses issues of tolerance and social justice that resonate within both the Iranian-American and general Tennessee communities. The organization recognizes that community members bring diverse perspectives and expertise, which is why it regularly hosts speakers and thought leaders to facilitate informed discussions on international affairs and domestic policy. By organizing cultural events, facilitating dialogue with government officials, and supporting democratic initiatives, IAC-TN demonstrates that cultural identity and civic participation are complementary values. The organization's work in Nashville reflects a broader commitment to helping facilitate democracy while honoring the rich traditions of the Iranian-American community.
