Farashgard (Persian: فَرَشگَرد) also known as Iran Revival, is an Iranian political action network. This organization was founded in September 2018, ten months after the beginning of the 2017–2018 Iranian protests. The organization was founded by 40 Iranian activists across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Iran.[2]
Farashgard advocates for a secular democracy in Iran either through a Republic or a Constitutional monarchy, but states that the exact form of a future political system will be determined by the people of Iran after the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.[1]
The group's slogan is: "We Will Reclaim Iran and Rebuild It". Its original name Farashgard was metaphorically named after the Middle Persian concept Frashokereti.[3][4][5]
