New Valencia Hall, 625 Larkin Street, Suite 202, in San Francisco (at Eddy Street, near Civic Center BART, and on/near Muni lines #19, 38, 47 & 49)
Come hear Shahram Aghamir and Malihe Razazan, Iranian émigrés and co-hosts of KPFA radio’s “Voices of the Middle East and North Africa,” speak on the recent “Green Revolution” in Iran.
Since the contested June 12 presidential elections, youth, women, workers, and intellectuals have taken to the streets and engaged in work stoppages to challenge the Islamic regime.
What will it take to replace the theocracy with a secular government that guarantees democracy and respect for everyone’s rights?
Door donation $3-5. A homemade lunch will be served at 12pm ($8). Work exchanges available. All are welcome!

Haven't we had enough of pro-Western (i.e., pro-U.S.) "color revolutions"? The governments that have come out of these phony revolutions have all been quite ready to violate the desires of the majority of their own people when necessary in order to adopt economic policies favoring the imperialist world and/or sending troops to places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
While demands for personal freedom (at least those that don't depend on economic privilege) should be supported, demands to overturn the Iranian election and replace the socially conservative but economically more egalitarian Ahmedi Nijad with billionaire Rafsanjani's man Musavi should be repudiated by leftists and all anti-imperialists, especially supporters of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance, even leaving aside the fact that Rafsanjani and Musavi, not Ahmedi Nijad, were in power during the worst repression and massacres of leftists in and after 1989.
