Given Iranian Americans’ large, successful, and multigenerational presence in the United States, it is time for the community to organize and participate actively in shaping America’s future, in both the domestic and international arenas.
Toward that end, on March 9, 2004, the Iranian American Democrats of Los Angeles (IADLA) received its charter from the Los Angeles County Democratic Party. An affiliate of the Democratic Party without ties to any other organization, IADLA is a grassroots organization whose membership is open to everyone regardless of religious beliefs, place of birth, gender, ethnicity, race, or sexual orientation. Its purpose is to serve as an arena through which its members can discuss and act on their common interests. Specifically, IADLA will pursue the following objectives:
A. Create and maintain an effective voice for Iranian Americans in local, state, and federal politics.
B. Inform Iranian Americans of the Democratic Party’s political platform and positions and encourage them to join the Party and register to vote.
C. Raise awareness among Iranian Americans regarding legislation of specific relevance to our community through seminars, speakers, website information, and articles.
D. Identify, encourage, and support qualified Iranian Americans to seek elected office at the local, state, and national levels.
E. Encourage the establishment of Iranian American Democratic organizations throughout the United States.
F. Establish nationwide dialogue with all other Iranian American Democratic organizations.
G. Organize and participate in an annual national meeting of Iranian American Democrats.
