    The Events in Iran

    Thank you to everyone who tuned in and learned about what is taking place in Iran. Thank you, especially, for the vulnerability from our Iranian listeners- the power of your voice and personal stories transcends and is going to make such a difference. CALL TO ACTION: The Islamic Republic of Iran has been shutting down cellphone and internet access across the country. The most important thing we can do is share what is happening, sign petitions, learn about the history, and call your reps. Visit this Google Document that is regularly updated with the most up-to-date actions and resources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DjSDd4MHlgEmXbuhWpV2g3RrVsEUpT0xKPVarzjkCKc/mobilebasic Here are some Iranian and Iranian-American thought leaders to follow and repost: Holly Dagres, an analyst and editor Jasmin Ramsey, the deputy director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran Rana Rahimpour, journalist for BBC Gissou Nia, human rights lawyer and Iranian-American Mahsa Alimardani, an internet researcher focusing on freedom of expression and access toinformation online in Iran Yeganeh Rezaian, a journalist Nazanin Boniadi, an actor and ambassador of Amnesty UK Roya Boroumand, co-founder and executive director of Abdorrahman Boroumand Center Shayan Sardarizadeh, a journalist for the BBC SIGN A PETITION: You can also sign Amnesty International’s ongoing petition, which seeks to tackle the ongoing impunity in Iran. Petitioners are asking for the creation of an independent United Nations mechanism that will investigate and hold Iranian officials accountable for their actions. Another petition by Change.org is urging leaders of democratic countries to act, you can sign it here. USE YOUR POLITICAL POWER: Supporters across the United States have been gathering for demonstrations in cities like Los Angeles and New York. You can join your town or state’s local protest to bring greater attention to the cause. Following social media accounts to stay up to date on upcoming demonstrations can help. Middle East Matters on Instagram has been strictly posting where and when protests in support of Iran are being held globally. If you can’t attend a protest yourself, spreading the message by sharing or sending posts can help spread the word. U.S. supporters can also ask their congressmen to vocalize their support of the Iranian protests. Citizens can contact their representatives through a written email, or by calling their local elected official’s office. You can find out who your elected officials are by visiting house.gov/representatives and senate.gov. If you live in the U.K., you can also write to your member of parliament, which you can find by entering your postcode here.
