John,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
As thousands of brave Iranian people, led by courageous Iranian women, are taking to the streets to challenge their government’s authoritarian policies, it is imperative the U.S. takes concrete steps to stand in solidarity with them.                                                                                                 
For years, we led the charge to support internet freedom for Iran, and finally, helped get the Biden Administration to publish General License D-2 to loosen internet sanctions so Iranians can access new tools to challenge state censorship and repression.                                                                            
Now, we’re calling on the House and Senate to pass new, bipartisan legislation that condemns the killing of Mahsa (Jhina) Amini and target sanctions on human rights abusers.                                                                                                                                                             
Take Action: Urge your Senators and Representative to support and pass this resolution. >> [[link removed]]                                                                                                                                                             
Why do we support this legislation?
