Live Report: LA Rally For Iran

So I just got back from working security at the United4Iran rally in Bruin Plaza at UCLA. There was an estimated crowd of several thousands. Most of those people were Iranian-Americans, but there was also a substantial amount of non-Iranians.

Iranian-American comedian Maz Jobrani was the MC and there were many prominent speakers such as political analyst Reza Aslan. For the most part, everything went smoothly and we brought a lot of attention to what is going on in Iran to the local media.

One thing that was different about this rally from others in LA I have attended was the near universal unity of message. Regardless of the political belief of the people attending the rally, all of them want human rigths and freedom for the people of Iran. That is what the rally focused on and that was the message the world heard from all of the rallies around the world today.

Here are some pictures from the LA event:
