Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : For many in Iran, that constitutes a lifetime.
59% : While those Iranians have never known the Iran that their parents enjoyed before 1979, they've seen images in family albums and heard stories from older relatives of a time when Iran enjoyed much of the same liberties and economic advantages as Western nations.
59% : Perhaps if we all demand it, Iran can finally be free.
56% : Indeed, many world leaders, celebrities and public figures have voiced their support for the women of Iran, the Iranian people and a free Iran, which is exactly what is needed as the people of Iran have had their voices stifled by their government for far too long.
54% : As an Iranian American watching the dramatic events unfold in Iran, I'm afraid to hold my breath.
49% : Many of my relatives who are still in Iran are on Instagram, and a cousin will often message me about the latest episode of HBO's "Succession."
36% : The Green Movement protests of Iran in 2009 due to election fraud claims.
36% : The protests of 2019 in Iran due to fuel costs and food shortages.
36% : But in the 2009 and 2019 protests in Iran, the demonstrators were brutally suppressed by the ayatollahs' paramilitary forces.
36% : These women know any one of them could be arbitrarily arrested, tortured and killed on any given day in Iran.
