Iranian Americans to Gather as World Leaders Confront an Unresolved Iran Crisis
As world leaders gather during the United Nations General Assembly, amid an unresolved Iran crisis, thousands of Iranian Americans and supporters of human rights will rally across from the UN on Tuesday, September 22, and Wednesday, September 23, calling for an end to the theocracy and supporting the establishment of a democratic, secular republic in Iran.
The demonstration comes as the regime is severely weakened, and Iranian society is increasingly restive. Meanwhile, Tehran has sharply escalated domestic repression and political executions. The rally will highlight the Iranian people’s role and their struggle for democratic change in achieving a durable resolution to the Iran crisis.
The rally will call for recognition of the NCRI’s Provisional Government for a democratic republic of peace and freedom, based on Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan. There is no need for foreign boots or money to effect change by the Iranian people.
Prominent American personalities, human rights activists, and youths will address the rally.
