Between a Rock and a Hard Place: A Roundtable on War, Repression, Iran and International Solidarity

After the massacre of thousands of protesters in Iran by the regime, military intervention by the US and Israel and war, we want to make space for a democratic and frank discussion about international solidarity. In the current context of heightened division and increasing verbal and physical violence among different factions of the diaspora, we suggest that nuanced conversations about “difficult topics” are of crucial importance to strengthen the demands for justice that come from Iran. We invite academic and activist speakers to offer their reflections. Based on their expertise and analysis of the current conjuncture, they share their perspective on what international solidarity looks like today.
