They have chosen green as the symbol of their struggle for democracy and justice. Here's what I am doing. . . I am putting ribbons on light poles etc on the street, and I am urging people to wear a green ribbon. I am taking spools of ribbon to some local businesses that are owned by people from Iran and telling them what I am doing. Also, I will be writing letters to the mayors of Arizona cities asking that they have a green ribbon ceremony at city hall or at least tie their own green ribbon on the street lights near city hall. . I will also look for Iranian student groups next week to discuss the green ribbon campaign with them, and I am going to network with green party locals in my area, and on the internet. Small gesture perhaps, but at least something to provide moral support. . If you support this idea, find your local fabric store and pick up a spool of green ribbon. You can pin it to your shirt and tie it to your car's antenna, and tie it around the street light on the corner. . And it wouldn't hurt to tell your friends and even write to your city's major.
