DESCRIPTION:We will watch this event at Revolution Books in Berkeley \n\nAN AFTERNOON 
 OF SOLIDARITY, PERFORMANCE AND DEFIANCE\n\nBe at Revolution Books in Harlem 
 to experience heartfelt musical, spoken-word, and political 
 statements...Showing our internationalist love for Toomaj.\n\nExpressing 
 our determination to step up the fight to free all of Iran’s political 
 prisoners.\nWho Is Toomaj Salehi?\n\nToomaj Salehi is an Iranian rapper 
 beloved by millions in Iran and worldwide because he stands up for, and 
 with, the people. Toomaj is hated by the misogynist mullahs ruling Iran, as 
 he champions the fight against the vicious oppression of women and the 
 whole oppressive system in Iran. Toomaj is a brilliant artist who has 
 defied a brutal system in his songs and videos and participation in 
 protests. \n\nToomaj Salehi was arrested for his songs and participation in 
 the “Women-Life-Freedom” uprising that shook Iranian society in 
 2022-23. As women took to the streets in protest, refusing to wear the 
 mandatory hijab face-covering. With men joining this struggle. Toomaj, 
 along with many other political prisoners, has endured months of 
 excruciating torture and solitary confinement. Every 6 hours the Iranian 
 government executes someone!\n\nOn April 24, Toomaj was sentenced to death 
 by Iran’s theocrats for his rebel music, for standing up against 
 injustice and for inspiring people worldwide with his courage!\nWE CANNOT 
 ALLOW TOOMAJ TO BE EXECUTED!\n\nToomaj’s courage and conviction as a 
 rebel artist stand in sharp contrast to the degrading art that saturates 
 our culture, that keeps people’s hearts and minds locked within this 
 horrific world. Our choices are not US imperialism and its outpost Israel 
 vs. “dark ages” Islamic fundamentalism. NO! A whole other world is 
 possible...through an all-the-way revolution!\n
