As I watched the Neda video, I cried. Bawled actually. She was born the same year I was- almost my same age. But I'm so proud of her and the Iranian people. I don't know who I am, that it should matter if I'm proud, but I am. I'm so proud of them for standing up to their government and I hope that this will not quiet them. I hope they keep fighting. I hope they know how much we're rooting for them.
I will post a picture on nedaspeaks.org. I want them to know that I am one of the millions that is behind them. That I love them even though I don't know them. That I grieve with them for Neda and all those who died and are incarcerated, even though I can't imagine the depths of their pain and despair.
Keep reaching. We are with you.
