Take Action Now

There are things we can do to support the struggle in Iran and also each other:

1. Now is the time to nominate the women of Iran for the Nobel Peace Prize for their bravery and selflessness. Their struggle is a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice around the world. We urge our members to visit https://www.change.org/p/nominate-iranian-women-for-nobel-peace-prize-for-courageously-arising-for-women-s-right?redirect=false and sign the petition to nominate these remarkable women who are making a difference in the world.

2. Please repost videos/news items/images/announcements on your social media with these hashtags: #MahsaAmini #Mahsa_Amini #Iranianwomen #womenlifefreedom

3. Follow the news, sign petitions, and learn about human rights violations on these websites:
   • Human Rights Watch: https://www.hrw.org/
   • Amnesty International: https://www.amnestyusa.org/
   • Sign Amnesty International’s petition to demand accountability and restraint: https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/end-the-protest-bloodshed-in-iran/ and read the report calling for urgent action on Mahsa Amini’s death: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/6060/2022/en/

4. Encourage your local and national media to keep this story front and center, and not let it die in the midst of other news headlines; if you have knowledge of the situation, share it with others in the media, in your classes, etc.
