IWW-Reno will show support for Iranian Labor as part of international actions called by four major union federations and endorsed by the major Iranian unions who will be holding a general strike Friday June 26th.
Reno's solidarity event will be held at the intersection of McCarran and S. Virginia (near Chili's Grill and Bar) at 5 p.m. 'til we run out of energy or the rush hour traffic disappears. All lovers of peace, justice, and liberty are invited; no supporters of imperialist military action welcome. This action was planned before the Iranian elections as support for the repressed Persian unions and is independent of the pro-Mousavi wing of the clerical elite over there and independent of the neocon nutjobs here.
Slogans so far:
U.S. gov't and corporations: Hands off Iran's Revolution!
Workers' Liberty in Iran, Iraq, and in USA.
General Strike Iran; USA Next.
Overthrow Theocracy: in Iran, in Israel, in USA.
Solidarity of U.S. workers with Iran workers.
Labor rights are human rights, Iran or USA.
Full women's equality in Iran, and in USA.
Gay people need equality in Iran, and in California.
You get the idea. Try to avoid anything that plays into the right's demand for
air strikes to "free" Iran. Emphasize worker to worker, people to people, not
government action.
