Chicago MIGA

Principles and Community Guidelines

Chicago MIGA is a community-based organization dedicated to supporting the Iranian people's pursuit of freedom, dignity, and self-determination. We are committed to fostering a professional, inclusive, and organized environment for civic engagement and advocacy.

Our Vision

We envision a free and democratic Iran, where the rights of all citizens are respected, and governance is determined through transparent and fair elections. Our efforts are rooted in the belief that the Iranian people should have the opportunity to choose their leadership and system of governance without coercion or external imposition.

Alignment with the Lion and Sun Movement

The Lion and Sun flag, a historic emblem of Iran, symbolizes national unity, resilience, and a connection to Iran’s rich cultural heritage. In recent years, it has re-emerged as a powerful symbol of resistance against theocratic rule and a call for democratic change .

Chicago MIGA aligns with the principles represented by the Lion and Sun movement, emphasizing the importance of national cohesion, secular governance, and the Iranian people's right to determine their future. We recognize the flag's significance in uniting diverse groups under a common vision for a free Iran.

Support for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has been a prominent advocate for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in Iran. Many Iranians view him as a unifying figure capable of guiding the nation through a transitional period towards a democratic system .

Chicago MIGA supports the role of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a transitional leader, facilitating the establishment of a democratic framework that allows the Iranian people to freely choose their leaders and form of government. Our support is grounded in the belief that his leadership can help ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.

Commitment to Peaceful and Lawful Engagement

All Chicago MIGA initiatives are intended to support peaceful, lawful civic activity. Participants are expected to comply with local regulations and conduct themselves responsibly during events and community efforts. The safety of participants and the broader public remains a priority.

Respectful Dialogue

Constructive discussion is welcomed; however, harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior is not acceptable within Chicago MIGA spaces, whether in person or online. We believe meaningful progress is supported by professionalism and mutual respect.

Organizational Independence

Chicago MIGA operates as an independent, community-based initiative. While we collaborate with individuals and organizations that share a commitment to supporting the Iranian people, our decisions, messaging, and activities remain guided by our internal principles and organizational standards.

Our Shared Responsibility

Strong communities are built on trust, respect, and accountability. By engaging with Chicago MIGA, participants contribute to an environment intended to elevate awareness, encourage informed engagement, and support the voices of the Iranian people. Together, we strive to model the civic values that underpin a stable and democratic future.
