Iran Freedom Foundation Announces Launch of Solidarity Walk

The Iran Freedom Foundation:
The Iran Freedom Foundation (IFF) has announced the launch of the Iran Freedom Walk, a 200-mile journey by foot aimed at promoting awareness and solidarity between the people of America and Iran, and encouraging Iranians to peacefully stand up to their oppressive government. Millions of Iranians inside Iran will be able to watch the launch live. ...

The walk will take off at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 16 from Independence Mall in Philadelphia, PA (block two of the park, between 6th and Market Streets, against the backdrop of the Liberty Bell).

Opening remarks will be made by IFF Founder Dr. Jerome Corsi, co-author of the New York Times bestseller Unfit for Command and the recent book Atomic Iran.

The Walk will roughly follow Route 30, with stops in and around Newtown Square, PA; Lancaster, PA; York, PA; Cockeysville, MD; Baltimore, MD; College Park, MD, ending at Freedom Plaza in the heart of Washington, DC.

During the 20-day journey, participants will engage with local community members, highlighting the rich history of each town they come across. Educational meetings will serve as an opportunity for Americans and Iranians to dispel myths about each other and support Iranian's fight against their repressive government. Iran experts and Iranian-American walkers will also be available for media interviews at each leg of the walk.
