PLEASE SUPPORT IRANIANS NOT THE ISLAMIC REGIME OF IRAN
Dear Members of Congress,
As Iranian-American activists, we write requesting that Congress takes urgent action to halt the Biden administration from making any deals with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
As the most powerful branch of the United States government, we believe that Congress cannot be complicit in denying basic human rights to Iranians in Iran. For the past several weeks, President Biden’s administration has witnessed the widespread events in Iran ignited by the killing of Mahsa Amini under the custody of Khamenei’s “Morality Police.” This turning point brought Iranians to the streets in massive numbers and is picking up an undeniable momentum every day. With motivations rooted beyond this horrendous event, Iranians are at a critical and pivotal point that could only lead to democratic changes in Iran. For this reason, we strongly urge that President Biden’s administration should refrain from making any deals with the Islamic Regime of Iran, a dictatorship that is actively suffocating its own citizens.
As Iranian-American activists, we believe that U.S. national interest, particularly in the Middle East, lays in supporting a democratic Iran where basic human rights are respected – where the rights of ALL women, LGBTI+ and citizens are free and protected by the law and authorities. Citizens of Iran are fighting for their right to live in an equal and inclusive society. Supporting Iranians marching in the streets throughout Iran, protesting and demanding their rights, is critical to the American government’s ambitions of striving for regional and global peace.
Alongside Iran experts, we confirm that this movement in Iran is different as it is entering a revolution marathon. The current Islamic Republic of Iran bypassed fair and democratic elections, and the regime is not a true representative of Iranian citizens. For over a month, Iranians have been demanding to “take back Iran,” calling for regime change and a true democratic representation of their country. The U.S. government should not misinterpret this situation as anything else. Therefore, if President Biden’s administration is perceived as supporting the Islamic Regime in any way through any form of dealmaking, then it will be cooperating with a brutal mafia in killing and suppressing Iranians.
Ultimately, we urge Congress, as the leaders of the United States government, to leverage their power of persuasion and resolve to stop President Biden’s administration from making any kind of deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran until the Iranian citizens are fully empowered and truly represented by a democratically elected government of Iran. For the reasons discussed in this letter, we are peacefully staging an all day and night sit-in at the U.S. Capitol steps for two weeks. We strongly believe that Iranian and American citizens share the same values and advocate for democratically elected governments in a world without violence and discrimination. Let's unite against a dictatorial regime that seeks to remain in power by killing innocent people. Let’s unite against a regime that wields power by imposing war and suffering on other nations globally.
Sincerely,
DC Woman Life Freedom
FUNDING TERRORISTS IS A CRIME
You Are Invited!
Nice to meet you! You are here because you already care about human rights, more than ever. Let us tell you: You're not alone! Considering what is happening with Iranians, we are all in this together and must help each other. We are some DC area residents who are going on a sit-in in front of the Congress building, from November 1, 2022. It's going to be a huge event in DC since many artists, academics, activists, politicians, and experts will visit us and we will exhibit art performances as well as live talks, every day and night.
What's Going On?
We are some independent activists who live in DC area, have a history of fighting for human rights and democracy in Iran, and believe that we, the people, are able to protect human rights. You may agree with us that the Islamic regime in Iran is not representative of Iranians, so any deal with the regime is not approved by the people. We are fighting to safeguard Iranian rights by asking Congress to carefully listen to Iranians' voice!
Please Visit Us!
We are pleased to announce that Mehrzad Zarei, father of 17-year-old Arad who died in the shootdown, and some other families of Flight PS752 victims join us to go on a sit-in and it doesn't end there. We are inviting each and all of you to this movement. In any way that you can support this cause, you are absolutely more than welcome! You can join and sit with us, visit us here and there during days and nights and show your support, ask your senators to spend some time with us, or in any way we have not even thought about it. We do need your help!
کمک به تروریست‌ها جرم تلقی می‌گردد
شما هم دعوت هستید
حالا که دارید این متن را می‌خوانید مطمئنا برای حقوق بشر بیش از هر زمان دیگری اهمیت قائل هستید. بگذارید با افتخار به شما بگوییم که تنها نیستید. آنچه که در ایران عزیزمان می‌گذرد باید ما را از همیشه به هم نزدیک‌تر کند تا با کمک هم ایران را آزاد کنیم. ما جمعی از فعالان منطقه واشینگتن قصد داریم از اول نوامبر ۲۰۲۲ جلوی ساختمان کنگره به‌صورت شبانه‌روزی تحصن کنیم. جمعی از هنرمندان، دانشگاهیان، فعالان و سیاستمداران طی روزها و شب‌های مختلف در جمع ما حاضر خواهند شد. ما برنامه‌های هنری و اجراهای نمایشی را طی روزها و شب‌های تحصن برگزار می‌کنیم و صمیمانه از شما دعوت می کنیم تا همراه ما باشید
موضوع چیست؟
ما جمعی از فعالان مستقل منطقه واشینگتن هستیم که سال‌ها در دفاع از حقوق‌بشر و دموکراسی در ایران فعالیت کردیم و معتقدیم اراده ما مردم می‌تواند ضامن دفاع از حقوق‌بشر باشد. شاید با ما هم‌رای باشید که مردم ایران ثابت کرده‌اند که جمهوری اسلامی آنها را نمایندگی نمی‌کند درنتیجه هرگونه معامله‌ای با این رژیم مورد قبول مردم ایران نیست. ما برای حفاظت از حقوق مردم ایران مقابل کنگره تحصن می‌کنیم و از قانونگذاران آمریکا می‌خواهیم تا به دقت به حرف مردم ایران گوش کنند
منتظر شما هستیم
بسیار مفتخریم که اعلام کنیم که مهرزاد زارعی، پدر آراد نوجوان ۱۷ساله که قربانی ساقط کردن هواپیمای اوکراینی شد، به همراه جمعی از خانواده‌های قربانیان آن پرواز ما را در این تحصن شبانه‌روزی همراهی می‌کنند. ما طی این فراخوان از تک‌تک شما عزیزان دعوت می کنیم تا در این مسیر ما را همراهی کنید. ما دست شما را برای همراهی از هر طریقی که برایتان مقدور است به گرمی می‌فشاریم. شما می‌توانید در تحصن شرکت کنید، ساعاتی از روز یا شب را در کنار ما باشید و با برنامه‌های متنوعی که اجرا خواهد شد همراهی کنید، از سناتورها بخواهید تا در جمع تحصن‌کنندگان حضور پیدا کنند یا هر طریقی که شاید به ذهن ما نرسیده باشد. ما قطعا به کمک شما نیاز داریم
