"How can I help the Iranian people?"
Blogs are the voice of the young generation of Iranians. They are a piece of freedom in an oppressed nation, and they help other nations see the truths of what is going on in Iran.
Here's how you can help the protesters in Iran get their voices heard on an international level:
- Set up a proxy account to give Iranian people a safer chance to speak out without censorship.
- Help Iranian people on Twitter by keeping their information secret, misleading their government, and spreading legitimate information. If you have a Twitter, set your location to Tehran and your timezone to GMT +3.30. This will provide a massive cover for Iranian Twitter users.
- Join the global support protests.
Remember that Iran doesn't want international intervention. This is a revolution by the people for the people. But what they do want is awareness. They want witnesses. We have a duty to see and hear and know all we can. To make sure that their bravery and sacrifices of life and freedom aren't in vain. To help their voices get heard.
Remember that this is also a fight for Iranian women. They are trying desperately to break free of a repressive regime composed mainly of men.
Here is a photostream of the protests, in case you need to see real faces to put this together in your head. And some more photos.
There's a good general information post here. Please read it if you need more information or if you don't know what all of this is about. We owe them that, at least.
