Based in Albany, California, the Iranian American Community of Northern California represents a dedicated network of Iranian Americans united by shared values and commitment to their homeland's future. This all-volunteer, non-partisan organization emerged from the belief that Iranians living in the United States have a responsibility to use the freedoms and democratic privileges available to them to advocate for those whose voices have been silenced in Iran.
The organization's mission reflects a deep conviction that Iran's path forward lies not through foreign military intervention or appeasement of the current regime, but through support for the Iranian people's own resistance movement toward democratic, organic change. Members, though they may hold different political perspectives, stand together in opposition to the theocratic dictatorship, advocating instead for a secular, democratic republic that respects human rights and individual freedoms.
Serving the Iranian American community throughout Northern California, the organization documents and raises awareness about human rights violations in Iran, including documented cases of executions, torture, and systematic oppression. The group actively engages in community events, cultural celebrations like Nowruz, and advocacy efforts to educate lawmakers and the public about Iran policy. By providing a platform for Iranian Americans in the Albany area and beyond to participate in meaningful civic engagement, the Iranian American Community of Northern California empowers its members to be the voice for Iran's oppressed population and to work toward a future of peace, prosperity, and democratic governance in their homeland.
