Women, life, freedom! (pt. 2)

This week Carla and Joy complete their two-part deep dive into Iran's complex social and political landscape in an effort to contextualize the protest movement that has  ignited over the past several weeks. In this episode, they turn the mirror around to the United States. How can leftists best stand in solidarity with folks on the ground in Iran? How can we balance the need to amplify the Iranian peoples' grievances with their government, while also rejecting US intervention and sanctions? The duo answer these questions and more on this episode.Have thoughts/comments/reactions to this episode? We'd love to hear from you!
