Statement and Help Concerning the Situation in Iran

After massive protests once again rightly shook the Iranian government. The regime responded by shutting down theinternet, using massive violence, making arrests, and carryingout executions.
We share the concerns of those who fear for their families and friends.
Our solidarity is with all the people in Iran who are fightingfor a self-determined future and all those who have had to flee the regime.
