BECOME A MEMBER
Join the Iranian American Republican Council of Texas
One membership. One community. One Texas.
IARC Texas is built on the belief that Iranian Americans belong at the center of Texas Republican politics — not on the sidelines. When you become a member, you are not simply joining an organization. You are joining a growing network of Iranian American conservatives who are showing up, speaking out, and making a real difference across this state. As a registered 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, IARC Texas exists to serve our community — advancing conservative values, amplifying the Iranian American voice, and driving meaningful civic engagement across Texas. Your annual membership directly funds that mission.
A WELCOME EXCLUSIVELY FOR NEW MEMBERS
We believe in recognizing the commitment it takes to step forward and join a movement. As a thank-you to new IARC Texas members, upon completing your membership and verifying your Texas voter registration through the member portal, you will receive two exclusive welcome benefits from our organization — offered with gratitude, not for sale.
👕 IARC Texas Member Welcome Gift
New verified members will receive an exclusive IARC Texas member T-shirt as a complimentary welcome from our organization. This is not merchandise. It is a symbol of the community you have joined and the movement you are helping build. Sizing and delivery details will be provided through your member portal following successful voter registration verification.
📧 Your Personal @lionandsun.com Member Email
As a verified IARC Texas member, you will have the opportunity to claim a personalized @lionandsun.com email address — a distinctive address that reflects your identity as a proud Iranian American conservative and connects you to the IARC Texas community. Your address will be set up through the member portal following voter registration verification.
Both welcome benefits are extended complimentarily to new verified members as part of the IARC Texas member onboarding experience. They are not sold, not transferable, and not available separately. Availability is subject to IARC Texas Policies and Procedures.
