Four months of protests in Iran
What is the current situation? How can we help?
The situation in Iran is serious and changes daily. What is certain is that we must continue to pay attention and actively follow events. On January 19, 2023, four months after the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, we will provide an update on the current status during a virtual fireside chat and discuss with our guests what is happening in Iran and what we can do.
For several weeks, people in Iran have been taking to the streets to demonstrate against the regime's repression and for equality, human rights, and freedom. It is a protest movement led by women, which some are already calling a revolution. The situation in Iran is serious and changes daily. What is certain is that we must continue to pay attention and actively follow events. The people in Iran are asking us to be their voice. Let us come together in January, four months after the death of Jina Mahsa Amini and the first major protest in Tehran, to have a conversation.
We want to provide an update on the current status and discuss with our guests what is happening in Iran and what we can do.

What is unique about these protests? How are people on the ground organizing themselves? What news is reaching us from within the country?
