Please join us this Friday in solidarity with Iran

Please Forward Widely...

We are a non-partisan group of ordinary people from the Portland Metropolitan area and from Vancouver, WA. We came together because we are heartbroken by the violence inflicted upon the Iranian people. We are also tremendously proud of our fellow Iranians for their perseverance and non-violent presence in streets demanding change and justice. We invite you to join us for a weekly Friday vigil in solidarity with our courageous sisters and brothers who have been protesting ever since the election results were announced and their will was disregarded.

We unite with people in Iran demanding an end to the violence, free and fair elections and the release of all those detained. We share President Obama’s message of concern while refraining from direct US intervention.

 

 

Weekly "Portland Stands with Iran" Vigil
Friday, June 26 at 6:00pm

Pioneer Courthouse Square

For this Friday, June 26, we will gather at 6 PM in Pioneer Square. We will then silently walk to the campus of Portland State University. At the PSU library we will hold a candlelight vigil to honor the dead, the injured and those imprisoned in Iran. We will also acknowledge what they stand for and celebrate their undefeated determination and courage.

We request to not display flags, political party affiliations or offensive slogans in order to focus on our message of unity with the people of Iran and our commitment to non-violence and free and fair elections.
