Today I’m speaking with Shervin, an Australian Iranian, about grief, solidarity and the different ways we express resistance during this painful time for Iran. In this episode,

we discuss mourning, cultural sensitivity and the importance of staying united while amplifying the voices of Iranians inside Iran. We may express solidarity differently but we share the same hope: freedom & safety for Australians, Iranians and all humanity.
