I found out on Friday about the protests that have been going on in Iran. 🇮🇷🦁 These protests are the direct result of the assault that led to the death of 22 year old Mahsa Amini. 🇮🇷🦁 Because I know folx will be asking: we haven’t spoken to any of our family there; so for the time being we are assuming that no news (from them) is good news. 🇮🇷🦁 We will be sending out a post (via our Substack) about it later this week, but here are some excellent resources with what you can do today, tomorrow, and in the future: @ninaansary @nazaninboniadi @saharsanjar (I’ll be posting more in our stories as I come across them.) 🇮🇷 🦁 #FreeIran #MahsaAmini #IranProtests2022 #مهسا_امینی 🇮🇷🦁 [Image description: An Iranian flag, made from untwisted skeins of yarn, with a lion toy in the center. Incidentally, the lion toy is the one that Jasmin uses for Project Cornerstone, an SEL program that teaches - among other things- empathy and being an upstander.]
