STOP THE EXECUTION OF TOOMAJ... FREE IRAN’S POLITICAL PRISONERS
AN AFTERNOON OF SOLIDARITY, PERFORMANCE AND DEFIANCE

Toomaj Salehi is an Iranian rapper beloved by millions in Iran and worldwide because he stands up for, and with, the people. Toomaj is hated by the misogynist mullahs ruling Iran, as he champions the fight against the vicious oppression of women and the whole oppressive system in Iran. Toomaj is a brilliant artist who has defied a brutal system in his songs and videos and participation in protests.

Toomaj Salehi was arrested for his songs and participation in the “Women-Life-Freedom” uprising that shook Iranian society in 2022-23. Women took to the streets in protest, refusing to wear the mandatory hijab face-covering, with men joining this struggle. Toomaj, along with many other political prisoners, has endured months of excruciating torture and solitary confinement. Every six hours the Iranian government executes someone!

On April 24, Toomaj was sentenced to death by Iran’s theocrats for his rebel music, for standing up against injustice and for inspiring people worldwide with his courage!

WE CANNOT ALLOW TOOMAJ TO BE EXECUTED!

Toomaj’s courage and conviction as a rebel artist stand in sharp contrast to the degrading art that saturates our culture, that keeps people’s hearts and minds locked within this horrific world. Our choices are not U.S. imperialism and its outpost Israel vs. “Dark Ages” Islamic fundamentalism. NO! A whole other world is possible...through an all-the-way revolution!

STEP INTO THE STRUGGLE TO STOP THE EXECUTION AND DEMAND: #FREETOOMAJNOW!

Take this to campuses, places of worship, cafes, protests, social media. Sign and circulate the statement ►►

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
