We are a group of Iranian Americans from the Portland Metropolitan area and from Vancouver, WA. We are heartbroken by the violence inflicted upon the Iranian people. We are also tremendously proud of our fellow Iranians for their perseverance and non-violent presence in streets demanding change and justice. We invite you to join us for a silent vigil in solidarity with our courageous sisters and brothers who have been protesting ever since the election results were announced and their will was disregarded.
Friday, June 19 at 7 PM
in front of the Portland State University Library
at Hall and SW Park Blocks
We request to not display flags, political party affiliations or offensive slogans in order to focus on our message of unity with the people of Iran and our commitment to non-violence and free and fair elections. Please bring candles in containers and flowers.

will it be ok to wear green as a non-violent show of solidarity or is that considered political. I am spreading the word through the non-violent conflict resolution community and my friends and neighbors who are Iranian and they are so pleased that people care so much. I also wondered if someone is able to film our vigil and post it on YouTube so that the people if Tehran will see the support is coming from around the world. Thank you for organizing this, its the closest we can get to Tehran at the moment. Please e-mail me with answers if you can't through comments @ paris1971@live.com
