Call upon the international community to support

conscience, and hold the real criminals accountable. Remember Neda and Sohrab,
and all the victims of state violence. Oppose war and economic sanctions.

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.
