On September 18th, Ralph Schoenman spoke with Louis LaFortune on Free Radio Santa Cruz about the origins of the crisis in Iran. Mr. Schoenman lived in Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and was involved in that struggle. He spoke about the involvement of the Iranian workers in the overthrow of the government of Shah Reza Pahlavi, and the state of Iranian society following the disputed presidential election in which President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad retained his office, in spite of widespread charges of fraud and massive protests.

Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone will outline the suppressed story of the resistance in Iran at the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Cruz on Thursday, September 24th at 7pm.
