Mission Statement

The Lion and Sun Student Association (LSSA) is a University of Toronto student organization founded by Iranian-Canadian students committed to advocating for a free, democratic, and secular Iran. United by a shared belief in freedom, human rights, and the separation of religion and state, LSSA supports Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi's vision for a democratic transition in Iran and amplifies the voices of Iranians fighting against the Islamic Republic's repression. Rooted in 47 years of Iranian resistance and inspired by the Lion and Sun Revolution, the association raises awareness of human rights abuses in Iran, builds solidarity within the Iranian-Canadian student community, and advocates for Iran's territorial integrity, civic equality, and the right of the Iranian people to freely determine their own future.
