July 19: Protest Iran's Anti-Gay Executions Today!!

Here is the call to action which protesters in over 20 25 cities (sadly, Los Angeles is not one of them) are endorsing in today's activities:

1. End all executions in Iran, especially the execution of minors. (Photo above in the poster for San Francisco's protest illustrates, the teens Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni, killed in Mashad, Iran on July 19, 2005)
2. Stop the arrest, torture and imprisonment of Iranian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and repeal the Iranian penal code’s criminalization of same-sex relationships.
3. Halt the deportation to Iran of LGBT asylum seekers and other victims of Tehran’s persecution.
4. Support Iranians struggling for democracy, social justice and human rights.
5. Oppose foreign military intervention in Iran; regime change must come from within – by and for the Iranian people themselves.
