30 Years After was founded in 2007 as a non-profit, non-partisan organization for the Iranian-American Jewish community. The missions of the organization are education and political and community involvement.

Among other activities, the organization hosts a civic action conference, runs a mentorship program for Iranian-Jewish high school students, a voter registration drive, and quarterly educational and civic events.

In February 2008, Thirty Years After hosted a "Super Tuesday" election night mixer to increase community interest and participation in the 2008 United States Presidential election. The organization provided voter registration forms, informational pamphlets, and basic knowledge on key subjects. In attendance were several prominent public figures in the community, such as California State Assembly member Michael Feuer; Department of Water and Power General Manager H. David Nahai; and Sam Kermanian, secretary general of the Iranian American Jewish Federation.

[edit] Civic Action Conference

On September 14, 2008, Thirty Years After will host a Civic Action Conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The conference is the organization's flagship event and will feature Iranian Jewish community leaders, local and national politicians, and leading civic and public policy figures from across the globe. To date, confirmed speakers include Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA), Mayor Jimmy Delshad, Rabbi Marvin Hier, Malcolm Hoenlein, and many others.
