When: Friday, February 12^th

“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, a group of concerned citizens in Austin have created “The Green Steps of Iran” art installation to symbolize that country’s tireless green march towards emancipation from tyranny. Please come by and support the movement on Friday the 12^th of February on the UT campus.

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