The people of Iran are now in their fourth week of taking to the streets to fight for their basic human rights & freedom. What started as protests has become a revolution — being led by YOUNG women — the bravest women I have ever seen.

The list of names in the first photo are names of Iranians that have been confirmed dead, killed by the Basij (the militant regime) — majority of these brave people were under 30, and unfortunately there are many more that have not been confirmed.

There is not much we can do from afar (donating money is not an option) — but we can continue to amplify their voices, ensuring they feel supported, and not forgotten. The world is finally watching and I am truly holding on to hope that change is coming.

If you are interested in getting more updates, I have been really appreciating @nicolenajafi ‘s posts. Other accounts to follow include @from____iran & @samanism
