Take a Green Step for Iran’s Green Freedom Movement

“Green Steps of Iran” is a collaborative Green shoe installation piece in support of the Iranian Green Movement.  The Iranian regime has elevated its brutal crackdown on the defenseless population.  In an unprecedented move, the regime executed two imprisoned demonstrators a few days ago.  As the international community, we feel obligated in keeping the Green struggle alive as the stakes become higher and more costly for our brothers and sister inside Iran.

With this in mind, “The Green Steps of Iran” welcomes your collaboration:  Please participate in this Green Communal event by donating your unwanted shoes. Our goal is to collect 500 pairs of shoes.  The shoes you donate will be colored green and installed on the UT campus (West mall) on February 12^th, 2010.  Every kind of shoes is welcome; pairs, singles, small, big, old, basically any shoe that you do not need, we will happily accept.

A drop off station will be set up Friday the 5^th of February at the intersection of 6^th and Lamar in front of Waterloo Records.

Sponsored by Austin for Iran UT, Iranians for Peace and Justice UT, Austin Permanent Peace Protest.
