Silent March and Vigil for Iran in DC

June 25th, 2009 by Max

This information comes from WhereisMyVote for those in Washington who want to show their support for the demonstrators in Iran:

“We want to invite all non-Iranians who wish to stand in solidarity with Iranians to join us for the candle light vigil (and the march if they desire) and to mourn the lost lives of the Iranian demonstrations.

Where is My Vote (DC) is organizing another day of protest this Thursday.

The first part of the protest will begin at the Daftar once more (2209 Wisconsin Ave), followed by a silent march on ‘Embassy Row’ (along Mass. Ave) ending at Dupont Circle.  The candle-light vigil portion of the protest will start around 8:30pm at Dupont Circle and end at 10:30pm.

We have secured a permit for the event, so we will not be kicked out on Thursday.  Also please respect the rules of the organizers, NO FLAGS under any circumstances, and there will be very limited signage and/pictures provided by WiMV so that we may keep the vigil respectful of the lost lives in Iran and not into an opposition protest.

Please join us and feel free to invite your Iranian and your American friends.”
