San Francisco · For a Free Iran

Freedom is worth showing up for.

We are Iranian-Americans organizing public action, campus outreach, and education for a free, democratic, and prosperous Iran—and a safe, prosperous, and free America.

Our Mission

Truth. Freedom. A future led by the people.

SF Protests brings people together to advocate for freedom, justice, democracy, and human rights for the people of Iran.

We educate the American public—especially students—about Iran’s history, the Iranian people, and the dangers of political Islam. We make the distinction clear: the Islamic Republic does not represent Iranians.

Through consistent public action and community outreach, we amplify political prisoners, condemn terrorism and regime proxies, and stand with those inside Iran risking everything for freedom.

Our Work · Campus Education

Conversations that begin with a question.

Weekly Campus Information Desks

Each week, SF Protests meets students where they are. Our “Change My Mind” tables invite questions and respectful conversation about Iran, human rights, authoritarianism, the crimes of the Islamic Republic, and the dangers of political Islam.

We share source-based educational materials, honor victims and political prisoners, and explain why the Iranian people must never be confused with the regime that oppresses them. The goal is not to lecture—it is to begin honest conversations that students can carry with them.

What We Do

From awareness to action.

01 · PUBLIC ACTION

03 · ADVOCACY

Human Rights

We raise urgent awareness for political prisoners, executions, victims, and families whose voices must be heard.

Once a week, we bring together different perspectives and personalities for an open, thoughtful conversation about American and Iranian politics. Honest disagreement is welcome; respect and a shared commitment to truth are essential.
