I honestly still feel like I might be hallucinating but the walkouts actually happened and I cannot stop shaking while I type this because seeing the seats empty was just overwhelming. It feels unreal to know that 1,098 of us managed to push for something that seemed impossible when I …

Dear Member of the United Nations; In the name of humanity, and in keeping with your obligations to the UN Charter of Human Rights, We the undersigned ask that you take a stand against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the head of a regime that has consistently repressed the Iranian people, that is in flagrant violation of UN resolutions, that has supported international terrorism and endangered world peace. We the undersigned request that you refuse to honor Ahmadinejad’s presence at the UN by boycotting his speech to the General Assembly. This act will reaffirm your rejection of violence and repression against millions of Iranian people. It will also be a message to the Iranian people that they are not alone in their quest for freedom and justice. It will show the world that members of the United Nations are truly committed to the humanitarian principles underlying the creation of this respectable body – that incarceration without cause, torture and murder of innocent people, and atrocities of any kind will not be tolerated by the international community. As legitimate representative of your people, we urge you to walk out of the General Assembly when Ahmadinejad mounts the podium to address the delegates. Thank you.

i keep refreshing just to watch the total climb and it feels like we are right on the edge of the first hundred signatures. if you happen to know anyone else who might care about this just send them the link because it really burns me up thinking about him standing there on that podium while we have the chance to do something simple but loud.

A total disgrace that he is invited anywhere. send a message that his behavior wont be tolerated anymore.

How can the UN even allow this guy to speak? It is a total mockery of human rights.
