Saturday, February 14th is being recognized as a global day of action in solidarity with the Iranian people. The most recent waves of protests - and the violence the government uses to silence its people - is not new. But this moment feels different, and many of us are hopeful that change is closer than ever.
If you didn’t know, DFW is home to a large Iranian community, including many who had to leave their homeland to find safety and build a new life here.
If you’ve ever had a Persian friend, enjoyed Persian food, music, or culture, or just believe in standing up for human rights, we’d love for you to come out and show support for your neighbors. It means a lot to our community and to the people in Iran who continue to risk everything to have their voices heard.
