Hello UCR Students,


For the past three months, the people of Iran courageously stand united against an oppressive theocratic government. While this movement in Iran has held strong, the Iranian people want their voices to be heard on an international level. For those of us who are so fortunate to live in a country that respects freedom and personal choice, we are the Iranian people’s biggest dream and their best hope.


We hope that everyone in our UCR community will stand with the Iranian people and join their fight for freedom. Our ASUCR Women's Rights and Equity Committee and UCR Iranian alumni Nika (ncheg001 at ucr.edu<mailto:ncheg001 at ucr.edu>) and Farzaneh (ftale001 at ucr.edu<mailto:ftale001 at ucr.edu>) have compiled an informational doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UvolsIOK0oDeyNSyQTU_Rr9YUR9R1uFOvRyCYh00PrA/edit?usp=sharing> about the current situation in Iran to bring awareness to the revolution.


Below are some action items and ways our UCR students, faculty, and community can support the Iranian Revolution.



Actionable items for UC system:

*In reference to resolution<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fl_f9syKYesVc10EVfr3RSA6B5xwWJFIcngIyWjpWZQ/edit?usp=sharing> ASUCR passed on November 2nd

ASUCR and community members on campus are working towards:

  *   Implementing an application fee waiver. We are proposing a fee waiver for our International students in Iran

  *   Extending the deadline for UC applications

  *   Allotting more time for online based tests

  *   Accepting unofficial transcripts as staff have been impacted by events

  *   Getting a statement of acknowledgement from Chancellors and utilize their lobbying power

  *   Collaborating with other UC Associated Student governments


What can we do to support?

  *   Email senators and representatives (some examples below)

     *   2Mayor at riversideca.gov<mailto:2Mayor at riversideca.gov>

     *   https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/e-mail-me

     *   https://www.speaker.gov/contact

     *   https://www.padilla.senate.gov/contact/contact-form/

  *   Follow these nonprofits and organizations to learn more and support to help the spread:

     *   @iranian.students.ca<http://iranian.students.ca/>, @irantoday_org, @middleeastmatters, @iraniandiasporacollective, @persianswithpurpose, @parsequality

  *   Signing petitions and voting in candidates (no JCPOA negotiation)

  *   Engaging with the news, knowledge, hope every student knows more about what’s happening in Iran to support the revolution


Thank you for your time and hope all of you have a wonderful rest of the quarter. Join us to empower and uplift the Iranian community!


Best,

Ankita Ahluwalia (aahlu004 at ucr.edu<mailto:aahlu004 at ucr.edu>)
