Nationwide protests in Iran following the killing of Mahsa Amini on September 16, 2022 have continued to the present day. The Iranian regime continues to respond with extreme brutality. 527 protesters have been killed, and over 19,000 arrested.
Protests for freedom in Iran continue to take place around the world. A March for Iran will take place in Washington DC on Saturday, February 4th at 2:00pm at Freedom Plaza.
Next week, on February 11th, Iranians will hold a Freedom Rally at the Torch of Friendship in Miami, FL.

Freedom House, a human rights organization founded in the United States in 1941, is circulating a petition calling for solidarity with Iran.
The Iranian peoples’ victory over IR repression would be a major step toward global equity. They cannot do it alone... the Iranian people need your support!

Martyred Cuban opposition leader Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas on December 17, 2002 in an address to the European Parliament explained the importance of prioritizing human rights and solidarity in the age of globalization.
"The cause of human rights is a single cause, just as the people of the world are a single people. The talk today is of globalization, but we must state that unless there is global solidarity, not only human rights but also the right to remain human will be jeopardized. If there is no solidarity between people we will be unable to preserve a fair world in which it is possible to continue living as human beings. I therefore humbly believe that rather than new models, both for societies and for relations between countries, what we need is a new spirit.
This new spirit, which should find expression in solidarity, cooperation, and justice in the relations between countries, will not impede development, because if policies and models are made secondary to personal realization and the establishment of justice and democracy, and if policies are humanized, we will bridge the gulfs that divide peoples and will become a true human family."
The time for solidarity continues. The world is watching. The Iranian people are not alone. We are with you both in spirit and on the streets.
