Reply to comment by Lemonio in If you’ve noticed some protests for solidarity with Iranians going on, this is one of the groups organizing them! by ShahsMan

At this link you can find three initiatives the organizers think citizens can ask their representatives to take action on.

Ultimately, even just spreading awareness by talking about Iran and what’s happening there will help.

Feel free to spread the details of the protest time and location to any interested parties and / or the organization website. It is made of local Iranian Americans with no political affiliation or outside influence, I am not a representative of the group I just try to spread their initiatives.

Thank you!

For one thing, that's out of date. The U.S. has already labeled the Revolutionary Guard as terrorists. In response, Iran labeled CentCom as terrorists. All this name-calling hasn't helped anybody, AFAICT.

And, one of the other ideas from that link: that America's Congress should tell Iran to end the death penalty? Seriously? That's not exactly the right messenger considering Congress is perfectly happy to have the death penalty here at home.

Whatever you believe, go advocate for it! Doesn’t mean we will necessarily agree 😉
