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. >>
Why do we support this legislation?
- It commends the bravery of the Iranian people and rightfully condemns the egregious human rights abuses that we are witnessing.
- It calls for targeted human rights sanctions against officials responsible for the crackdown, not broad sanctions that hurt the very people demonstrating for a brighter future.
- It encourages the administration to prioritize expanding internet access in Iran so that the Iranian people can continue to make their voices heard.
We need Congress to act swiftly and pass this resolution now. Take action today to send a message to your legislators or call them directly!
Send a message to Congress
Call Congress
In solidarity,
Team NIAC Action
