Supporting the Iranian revolution from overseas requires two things: "Maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic regime, and maximum support for the Iranian people"

Do you want to support the fight against fascism, and help Iranians remove the theocratic dictatorship from power? There are multiple avenues that you can pursue to do your part in assisting Iranians to defeat the Islamic Republic. Whether you want to donate, write to your legislators, be an activist or sign a petition. Every little effort can help bring Iran closer to a democratic transition.

Here is a list of some of the things you can do:

Donations

If you would like to donate to the cause there are multiple organisations and funds that are doing their part in pursuing change and civil liberties in Iran, these are:

United4Iran - United for Iran’s global community is supporting civic activists and improving civil liberties in Iran. Your support helps us build apps like Gershad, which helps Iranian women avoid the morality police, Hamdam, which supports Iranian women in advocating for their legal rights, and Haami, which supports Iranians who are recovering from addiction, among many others. Your support also helps free political prisoners and hold Iran’s judiciary accountable and transparent.

Human Rights Watch - As the atrocities grow in Iran, Human Rights Watch is organising to expose these horrific abuses.

Center for Human Rights in Iran - Since 2008 the Center for Human Rights in Iran is one of the leading global voices promoting human rights in Iran. They empower civil society and human rights defenders inside Iran, report on abuses throughout the country, and build international coalitions to defend basic rights and freedoms in Iran.

IranRights.org- With the goal of preparing for a peaceful and democratic transition in Iran and building a more just future in which citizens’ rights are respected and mass killings and crimes against humanity belong in the history books. The absence of transition does not justify inaction.

FreeIranCallForMedia by Iranian Diaspora Collective - A fundraiser program where media and awareness campaigns can be supported to push the cause within media and across cities in the Western world.

Amnesty International - Is currently asking for emergency donations to help fund its investigation into violent ongoing events in Iran perpetrated by the regime.

United for Iran - An organisation of coders, developers and activists working to support Iran through technology and online advocacy.

Contact Your Representatives

In simple terms, the best way to support the revolution is to put maximum pressure on the regime while at the same time pushing for maximum support for the Iranian people fighting the regime. Simply sanctioning the regime is not enough and asking that your representatives state their support for the Iranian protestors is important.

u/HatefulONYX has written two templates that you can use when contacting your representatives here and here. Although these templates are targeted towards US congress members you can edit these to fit your respective country and/or legislature.

For EU citizens: You can find your respective members of the European Parliament and their contact info here. You can then proceed to email them and request that you would like for Iranian embassies to be closed until political prisoners are free and executions are halted. You may also request that your representatives vote for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp ("IRGC") to be designated a terrorist organisation as it is the current occupying force in Iran. The IRGC is an extremist organisation that has actively pursued terrorist activities in the West and against its own people within Iran.

Petitions

If you haven’t already, can you please sign this petition to evict the Iranian diplomats from G7 countries until executions are halted and political prisoners are freed. We need less than 20k signatures to reach the target of 1 million before it’s delivered to representatives.

Change.org Petition to evict regime diplomats.

Additionally, many Iranians consider the current Iran envoy to have a conflict of interest due to his son working with the Iranian regime lobbyist group, NIAC: You can also sign the petition to replace Robert Malley as the Iran envoy.

Help Iranian Protestors Access the Internet with TOR

Please also consider running a TOR Snowflake if you are in a censorship-free country (via a simple one-click browser extension by Tor, a simple mobile app to run or even just a browser window to keep open) to help Iranians circumvent the current internet blocks.

You will actually see how many people you help circumvent censorship and you will make an important & real difference.

Here is a short explainer video, you will find most information on the site for the Snowflake tab as well: https://snowflake.torproject.org/

Online Activism

You can follow NewIran on Twitter.

The current effort online is to get the hashtag #IRGCterrorists trend worldwide and mentioning your respective representatives to get their attention. This is in order to have the IRGC officially listed and isolated from international financing which goes directly towards suppressing Iranians, funding the morality police and executing political prisoners.

You can include one of the events here to back your claims and support the movement to have the IRGC declared a terrorist organisation:
