Right now, millions of Iranians are risking everything to rise up and demand a real democracy, one where their votes are counted fairly. Once again the world is reminded that regardless of gender, race, religion or nationality — the yearning for self-determination is universal. 

After the towers came down on 911, I remember the candlelight vigils and moments of silence all over the world, ordinary people in far away places stopping in solidarity to share our grief with us. Green is the color they are wearing in Iran to demand democracy. Wear green with them.
