1. On @TamronHallShow I was asked how Americans can help the Iranian people. I said by calling their representatives & demanding they support an urgent @UN_HRC session on #Iran, to find ways to hold the authorities to account for their rights abuses. Too complicated? 🧵
2. Quote this tweet & mention your representative’s Twitter handle to help the people of Iran:
As your constituent I urge you to stand with the people of Iran & call for an urgent @UN_HRC session to hold Iranian authorities to account for their ongoing rights abuses NOW!
