[Indyish] Nazanin - indie music video for Iran » Indyish: It’s been amazing to me to find so many Iranians twittering via proxy throughout this peaceful revolution of theirs, calling out for friendship with the world, insisting that Ahmadinejad and Khomenei don’t speak for Iran, organizing to keep each other safe and able to communicate, even healing and helping injured members of the opposing side.

[Harry's Place] Harry's Place » Iran Solidarity launched at House of Lords: While there’s no doubt that some of those on the streets of Iran reject the theocracy, many are also demonstrating because they believe the ideals of the 1979 revolution have been betrayed by the rulers in a similar way that the Tienanmen Square protests appealed to the ideals of Mao rather than seeking to overthrow the state. What this Iran Solidarity group seeks to do is impose its own Marxist agenda on a protest movement that has little Marxist content, while excluding non-Marxists from solidarity.

[Iranian.com - Nothing is Sacred] Awash in green | Iranian.com: I had the great pleasure and the extreme honor to join several thousand demonstrators in Irvine, California, Wednesday night. These proud Iranians, and many Americans, joined hands, arms and hearts to lend support to their hamvatans. We passed cars and could identify their destination by the arm hanging out the window with its green wrist band. We knew who that car was with the green, white and red flag painted in the rear windows! We would wave and smile and instantly I could feel the brotherhood. We arrived just after 6:00 pm to a large gathering at the corner of Barranca and Jamboree. All 4 corners were awash in green”¦ from headbands to armbands”¦ from socks to scarves. Many carried plaques obviously furnished by professionals. Others carried home-made signs. But all”¦ and I mean ALL”¦ came with a fire in their eyes and a proud step in their walk. Walking from corner to corner, embracing each other”¦ greeting old friends and meeting new ones. It was one of the proudest moments of my life. I feel privileged to be a part, albeit a small one, of this incredible effort. Not one single moment of confrontation. Not one gesture affronting an opposing view. It was not a large demonstration by most accounts. There were no speeches”¦ no organizers handing out instructions. Simply a gathering of people, young and old, wanting their voices to be heard. “WHERE IS MY VOTE”. Horns were blasting in support”¦ people hanging out of their cars and trucks and waving “the green”. I was laughing and crying at the same time.
