United for Iran

United for Iran, headquartered in Berkeley, California, is a mission-driven nonprofit organization founded on the belief that defending human rights is a collective responsibility shared by people everywhere. The organization envisions a transformed Iran—one where every citizen's liberties and rights are honored, where ordinary people are empowered to participate meaningfully in public affairs, and where society is vibrant, open, and democratic. Operating from the San Francisco Bay Area, United for Iran brings together advocates, technologists, and community members who recognize that sustainable change emerges from within communities themselves. Rather than imposing external solutions, the organization partners with Iranian civil society to build local capacity, strengthen networks, and create the conditions for organic democratic growth. United for Iran's work is grounded in the conviction that everyone has a role to play in advancing human rights, whether through direct advocacy, technological innovation, or community support. The organization serves as a bridge between the Iranian diaspora and civil society organizations working on the ground, facilitating knowledge-sharing and resource allocation that amplifies local efforts. By combining human rights expertise with technological capability, United for Iran demonstrates that meaningful progress is possible when communities are equipped with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to advocate for their own futures.
