This network was initially created in response to the lack of interest among the Iranian diaspora, specifically the youth, concerning the support and solidarity of the internal struggle for Democracy inside Iran. Due to recent post election developments, this network has taken on a new role as Info Shop. Our concern is dialogue rooted in news, art and opinions not heard in the corporate media.
In hopes to create discourse resulting in action, we welcome all people who have a desire for Iran to flourish as a Democracy to defend the rights of all Iran's religious and ethnic groups, the youth, academicians, women, and political opposition groups.
