CONTINUING THE SUPPORT FOR THE PEOPLE OF IRAN
Day of International Solidarity with Iranian Workers
Friday June 26, 2009 @ 6 p.m.

The streets of Iran have been teeming with waves of protestors since the results of the fraudulent election were announced on June 12th. Despite mass police repression and violence, and under the threat of imprisonment and death, Iranians have continued to rise-up.
Friday, June 26, marks a global day of solidarity with Iranian workers. Four global labor organizations, representing more than 170 million workers, are joining forces to fight for justice and dignity for Iranian workers.
Join us at this rally and vigil to show your continued support for the struggle in Iran. Let Ahmadinejad know that the World is Watching.
