I didn't march with my Iranian sisters in 2022. I didn't even know they were marching. But when my family in Israel was attacked on October 7th 2023, the Iranians came to stand with us. The depth of the relationship we have built has meant the world to me. And now, I know, it is a two way street. We must stand with others in the same way we expect them to stand with us.
