About
Woman Life Freedom NYC is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Iran on the streets of New York. We believe that it is our responsibility as Iranian diaspora to support this woman-led uprising and to provide a platform to bring our community together in this effort.
We are united in our mission and principles, and we as a group will continue this fight until our country and people are free.
Principles Agreement
We oppose the Islamic Republic and those who support it, and it’s destructive impact on humanity and environment
We support the people-led revolution in Iran. We oppose all global forces who undermine or exploit the Iranian people’s fight for self-determination and for the removal of the Islamic Republic.
We stand for political independence and a break from past Iranian parties and factions, but understand that designing and building a constitutional democratic government and new economic system in Iran will be a collaborative effort reflecting the diversity of the Iranian people.
We fight against homophobia, hererosexism, and the compulsory gender binary and we support sexual and gender self-determination for all people.
We believe that no sole religion should be the basis for law, and support freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.
We support the principles stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
