On Sunday, March 15 at 2pm, 4 comrades from the Washington, D.C. branch of the Workers International League and the Iranian Workers Solidarity Network held a protest at the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite the rain and cold, the protest drew interest from several passers-by and workers inside the embassy. Comrades displayed the IWSN banner for an hour, which gained the attention of both pedestrians and drivers. While the event was small in size, it is encouraging that this year's protest was double the size of the historic first protest the previous year. The U.S. section of the IWSN has also gained a larger network of contacts in D.C. and nationally through promotion of the event. With the growing public interest in the IWSN, the campaign shows signs of promise in the D.C. area. More meetings are being planned to spread the word, and more solidarity actions are being planned as well. Contact us for more information!
