I need your help to #StopExecutionInIran

Together with you, I want to send a message to the #Iran|ian regime that we will keep watching, also over Xmas. So please record a small video 🎬 saying either

🎙️ “Don’t kill them”
OR
🎙️ “اعدام نکنید”

And post it here👇🏽

The Islamic Republic of Iran is detaining and carrying out executions of protesters without due process and justice. The world must not be silent about this.

[Faraj Aalaei @FarajAalaei]

If you care for human right, then you must be the voice of young women and men in #IranRevoIution . AMPLIFY THEIR VOICES. You don’t have to be Iranian to do this. You just have to care for human rights. @mehdirhasan @IACProject @CNN @maddow @VelshiMSNBC @MSNBC @FoxNews @FLOTUS

For a generation of Iranians who came of age during & just after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, current events in Afghanistan are not just heartbreaking, but also deeply personal & resonant with our own experiences.

I was smuggled alone out of Iran. I was 15. Here's my story.

[Hadi Partovi @hadip]

As the world watches the same old story unfold in Afghanistan, I hope we can all remind ourselves of the immeasurable costs of war, not just in lives destroyed, but in the opportunity that is taken away from children everywhere.

We need @MehrsaBaradaran who has advocated for postal banking, reducing the racial wealth gap, and environmental justice. So many progressives believe we need her in this role!
