This is a virtual event

Join the Iranian Nonviolence Initiative and its founder, Moji Agha (along with Iranians actively engaged in nonviolent struggle inside Iran--on Clubhouse) in a bilingual English-Persian conversation with New Hampshire Peace Action's Amy Antonucci and Will Hopkins about what is happening currently in Iran, focusing on the importance of dignity in peace-building. We will discuss the critical role nonviolence is playing in the struggle in Iran (especially among the youth), and the ways Americans and Iranians can work together to ensure a peaceful future for both of our nations.
