45] –The Islamic regime in Iran is using execution verdicts
as a desperate act to suppress peaceful demonstrations and protests due to the
disastrous economic condition in Iran. The judicial system in Iran
executes innocent activist and individuals by forced confessions, torture and
sham trials. The unjust death sentences for Pakhshan Azizi and Varisheh
Moradi is another act of desperation by the Islamic Republic’s use of capital
punishment to suppress members of minority communities and terrorize Iranian
women who are fighting tirelessly for their rights as equal citizens of
Iran. You are asked to show your urgent support for contacting the United
Nations Human Rights office and Iranian mission at United Nations to demand the
Islamic republic of Iran stop the unjust execution verdicts for both women and hundreds
of other prisoners on death row in Iran. These prisoners must receive fair
trials according to international judicial standards, including the right for
all prisoners to independent counsels.

The devastating impacts of the climate crisis are obvious — as well as the rise of far-right governments. These issues are more connected than you might think.

Last month, for Part 1 of this series U.S. activists led a powerful conversation about the struggles happening around the world and the need for climate activists to make the connections between war, migration, and the current political moment. Part 2 is about Climate Movements at the Intersections, and it takes place on May 8 and brings together powerful organizers from Turtle Island and beyond to share how their climate struggles are responding to militarism and xenophobia.

Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom — on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. How about instead a country that puts families over their fortunes — public schools over private profits, health care over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics.
