Join us in New York City, September 23rd and 24th, as we raise our Voices for Iran and declare to the international community that Ahmadinejad does not represent the Iranian people. We demand the international community support human rights for the Iranian people and reject the policies of military aggression and economic starvation.

Say no to torture, killings, and rape. Say yes to freedom of speech, assembly. End the show trials. Free all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, and hold the real criminals accountable. Remember Neda and Sohrab, and all the victims of state violence. Oppose war and economic sanctions. Shame Ahmadinejad.

Schedule:

*Wed. Sept. 23rd, 2:30pm to 6:30pm: Rally at the UN building (47th between 1st & 2nd Ave)

*Wed. Sept. 23rd, 7:30pm to 8:30pm: outdoor film & cultural event (location TBA)

*Thursday. Sept 24th: March with the GREEN SCROLL (location and time TBA)

*Thursday. Sept 24th: Music for Iran, social event fundraiser (location and time TBA)

We aim to have the single biggest international action ever in support of Iranian rights in one location. We encourage everyone to come to New York City September 23rd and 24th. Together we can send a message that is heard loud and clear!

Join us as we stand in solidarity with the movement for human rights, civil rights and rule of law in Iran.

Protests will include day events outside the UN building in New York and evening events in public parks. Exact times and locations to be determined.

Participants include: Denis Halliday, Kiosk, Fatemeh Haghighatjou, Masih Ali Nejad and more…

We ask that you please not
bring national flags. We all love our countries and their symbols, but
at this action we strive for a united event with a message that doesn’t
appear factional. We offer people the option of a green/white/red flag
with no emblem in the middle or with a positive text. Email us if you
have any questions

This protest must be run by the pro-theocracy reformists in Tehran

Why can't we bring the Sheer va Khorshid Flag

It seems you don't want monarchists or mko supporters at your event

Who do you want at your event

Only Mousavi supporters who want to keep the theocracy going

I will be there with my Lion and Sun Flag and I will get all my friends to come with the Lion and Sun Flag and we will come by the bus loads.  We will eclipse your useless movement and show people who the real Iranians are  

یک ایران

ایران

شیر و خورشید

This is freedom of speech and expression

PLEASE do not create division, We all have one enemy..

by babak pirouzian on Sat Sep 05, 2009 08:53 PM PDT

at the bottom of the link, a fine print, as a disclaimer,  it says:

"We ask that you please not bring national flags. We all love our countries and their symbols, but at this action we strive for a united event with a message that doesn’t appear factional. We offer people the option of a green/white/red flag with no emblem in the middle or with a positive text. Email us if you have any questions."

why are you trying to sugar quote it, straight forward,  just say, you do not want to see  Shir O Khorshid flag. What do you mean by "...we all love our countries and their symbols.........we strive for a united event with a message that doesn't  appear factional.."?. You and your message already started divisions, why are you doing this? we all have one enemy and that is Un Islamic , Inhuman , Unelected , Murderer, Barbaric, Apartheid regime and we all must be united otherwise we all fail. Please stop this nonsense, the enemy is powerful, furious and uses our petro-dollar to kill and suffocate us.    

If you are promoting democracy, let any one comes with whatever they want to come with, PLEASE DO NOT START SEGREGATION and DIVISION, (REMIND YOU THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OTHER GROUPS DEMONSTRATING SIMULTANEOUSLY AS YOURS WITH SHIR O KHORSHID)  let us start practice democracy from now on. REMEMBER in new democratic Iran, we will have all kind of flags, and we have to have tolerance for accepting all kind of ideologies, from extreme right, to  extreme left  and anything in between.

Another Mousavi Reform movement protest ?!

by American Dream on Sat Sep 05, 2009 05:32 PM PDT

We don't want any more of these reform protests.  These protests just prop up the Iranian theocracy and give the religious government in Iran 2500 more years to rule in Iran.  And there is no freedom of speech at these protests.  I have a friend named Khashayar who went to one of these protests in L.A.

He had a lion and sun flag with him.  The reform movement protesters took away his flag, ripped it up and urinated on it.  Then they beat Khashayar up and spit on him.

These reform movement protesters are hard core Islamicists.  the Mousavi movement in just plain bogus.

Iran needs to become a democratic republic with social freedoms like Amsterdam.
