On Wednesday, November 19, 2014, in recognition of the dire state of human rights in Iran, and with particular attention to the constant theme of injustice against women in Iran, a coalition of Iranian human rights activists from a variety of organizations (the “Coalition”) and Justice Through Music (JTM) will carry out a mobile billboard campaign in Washington, D.C. Trucks depicting billboards with images and messages designed to raise awareness of, and draw support for, the women’s rights movement in Iran, as well as broader concerns regarding human rights in Iran, will travel through the capital city’s streets.
The Coalition acknowledges and supports the demands of the Iranian people that their human rights be both respected and safeguarded by their government. The Coalition hopes that the American public will stand in solidarity with the Iranian people in their continued struggle for human rights and will urge American leaders and policymakers to continue to focus on human rights issues in Iran, irrespective of the outcome of negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
