Show solidarity with Iranian people this weekend!

On July 25th, major human rights organizations are coordinating a Global Day of Action for Human Rights in Iran. This global event is so that people can show their solidarity and demand respect for the rights of Iranian people. It's time that the wishes and rights of the Iranian people are respected, and the government is able resolve issues without violence.

Events are being held in several major US cities:
-San Diego: July 24, 6-8pm at Balboa Park (1900 Park Blvd, San Diego)

-San Francsico: July 25, 12-4pm at City Hall
-Chicago: July 25, noon at Federal Plaza at Dearborn and Adams St.

-New York City: July 25, 12:30pm. There's a march starting at Times Square (41st and 7th Ave.)

-D.C.: July 25. At 4pm there's a demonstration at the UN office (corner of 18th and K). A march begins at 5:15 to the Constitutional Gardens. Then, there's a rally at the Gardens (19th and Constitution) with several notable speakers.

This looks like an amazing opportunity for us to show our support of the courageous Iranian women and men who have been fighting so hard for their rights. If you want more information, go to http://www.united4iran.org/.
