[Reader-list] Reminder: Solidarity with Iran - July 25, a video, a song.

[Paul D. Miller]

Hey People - this July 25, there's an amazing series of events to support democracy in Iran. This is a song I did with the Iranian singer, Sussan Deyhim, which will be presented as part of the protest situation - we're presenting it with United 4 Iran.

The poem is based on a work by the poet Rumi from several centuries ago, but it still resonates with today's geopolitics - it's in Farsi, but for English speakers, there will be a translation posted.

In conjunction with United 4 Iran, a group of political activists, artists, writers, and musicians have organized a global protest in conjunction with many other movements. If you have a moment, please check out the material, and organize a local event to support the people of Iran.

Join this unprecedented wave of global citizen activism for the people of Iran. On July 25, participate in an event in one of more than 50 cities around the world.

I'm in a remote area of the planet, but am trying to get word out. We did the video over the last couple of days via remote edting. Already U2 and many other musicians and artists have joined. For example, U2 is projecting the lyrics of the song during their concerts... Please spread word!
The song is downloadable for free from:
