This handbook actually has tactical answers to "what can we do?" when talking about how we can free political prisoners--an incredible resource for families and communities 👇

[WORLD LIBERTY CONGRESS @WLCongress]

Pathway to Freedom isn’t just a handbook — it’s a lifeline for families, relatives, and entire communities striving to bring their love ones home.

Born from the frontline experience of the FREE THEM team, WLC members, and WLC partners, this tool provides concrete steps, practical strategies, and collective knowledge for those navigating the complex path of seeking justice and liberation.

Whether you’re a mother, a partner, a sibling, a friend — this roadmap is for you. You are not alone. This is about turning unjustice into action, isolation into solidarity, and despair into organized resistance.

In 2022, Iran tried to assassinate American citizen @AlinejadMasih in Brooklyn because she spoke out against the Ayatollah's repression of women. The men responsible are currently on trial in New York.

This week, we heard directly from the hitman sent to kill her:

“Dictators believe they can silence voices of freedom even beyond their borders but they are wrong”

Nicaraguan activist Felix @maradiaga speaks out in support of @AlinejadMasih #WeAreAllMasih #WomanLifeFreedom

[Caitlin Forrest @CaitlinForrest_]

This is about more than the assassination plot against @AlinejadMasih -- this is about protecting Americans on US soil and our rights to free speech.

If you agree that Congress needs to do something about this, sign our petition today:

Can someone please explain to me why we're letting Iran-hired Russian mobsters stalk American citizens in Brooklyn in broad daylight?

.@washingtonpost reports that Facebook, in a failed attempt to access the Chinese market, developed a censorship system and proposed shutting down the platform during “social unrest.” Zuckerberg also agreed to target the accounts of Chinese dissidents in the U.S.

International corporations will gladly crush human rights if it means to please China.

[Caitlin Forrest @CaitlinForrest_]

We stand with Masih!! The men who did this will be brought to justice and we will fight against transnational repression together!!

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Finally, I will face the men hired by the Islamic Republic to kill me, right here in New York.

Of course, it’s not easy. But it’s a big day. I’m deeply grateful to my new country, the United States of America, for trying to keep me safe from the government of my birth country, Iran.

In moments like this, it’s easy to feel nervous, afraid, or even broken, but your support lifts me up.
So, as I walk into that courtroom, I will carry your strength with me.

“How many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil?” Uhh… it’s not for lack of trying! Tehran’s hitmen—who tried to murder US citizen @AlinejadMasih—in Brooklyn (!!!)—are on trial TODAY!

It was supposed to be over in three days.

Three years later, Ukraine is bravely holding the line against Russia.

Here’s what stands out on the third anniversary of Russia’s re-invasion of Ukraine. 👇

He represents America’s poorest Congressional district.

Meet Rep. @RitchieTorres. He sees a crisis brewing at the intersection of homelessness, mental illness, incarceration, and institutionalization—and it all ties back to America’s rivalry with Russia and China.

2024 was the year of elections. In 2025, we have to live with the consequences.

@EvanGottesman and @hanmewada take a look at four very different elections—Taiwan, Venezuela, Romania, and America—and why they matter. Read more in RDI's #DemocracyBrief: https://t.co/hkYPG40xge

We had seven friends debate immigration, free speech, and war.

Spoiler alert: they didn't come up with conclusive answers. But that wasn't the point.

Talking it out isn't the be-all and end-all, but it's a starting point for a healthier democracy.
