San Francisco Bay Area came out to express solidarity with Iranians at a Mega Rally in San Francisco’s Civic Plaza today. Thousands of people showed up to listen to moving speeches and performances by a large group of presenters who had politicians, activists, journalists, writers, poets, musicians, and local leaders among them. I saw so many people I knew at the rally, and thousands I had never seen before. The Bay Area is well-known for its very active Iranian community, but it was especially heartwarming to see so many Iranians who don’t normally attend events such as this. It seemed the recent events in Iran and the call for the gathering had gripped everyone’s heart and they showed up to lend their hearts and hands to the support of fellow Iranians inside Iran. I would like to thank the organizers, United4Iran, and especially my friend Enayat Katouli who has worked tirelessly on this cause since June.
