To: the Iranian people

Open letter of peace, love, and solidarity with the Iranian people

Donald Trump will never speak for us. Like you, we want only peace. Let us join together in our common resistance to endless war and in our common belief in the power of our shared humanity.

Why is this important?

The Iranian people want to live everyday lives just like us. They too share a desire for peace and a diplomatic resolution to conflict—not war or baseless provocation. They too are afraid.

From the start of his candidacy, Trump demonized and degraded the people of Iran—a theme that has continued throughout his presidency, from the Muslim Ban to his appointment of anti-Iran Cabinet advisers.

We reject Trump’s poisonous soapbox. And that’s why—at this perilous crossroads—we are delivering our own messages to the people of Iran and the world.

Please add your name to our message of peace, love, and solidarity—and add a personalized message of your own in the comments box—which we'll publish in newspapers around the world and promote over social media.
