Thanks to the many organizations joining this effort to protest the dinner meeting between American religious and political leaders and Iranian president Ahmadinejad – now over 50 groups and still growing in numbers all through today.  So many organizations are working to educate the public and policymakers on the dire threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions, vows of destruction for Israel and the United States, and barbaric treatment of their own citizens.  This is a historic coalition in its breadth and our common sense of a clear and present danger to the world from the current Iranian regime.

Update as of 9-22, 37 Groups are now working together and contacting their members for the 9-25 Rally, a coalition built literally in the last week in response to public outrage over the invitation sent to Ahmadinejad to meet with religious and political leaders at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on September 25. See the current Participants list here...

For over fifty years, Open Doors has pursued a singular purpose: to stand with the persecuted church… building their courage, meeting their needs, sharing their stories and championing their faith….

Welcome Assemblyman Rory Lancman, latest member of the Coalition to oppose the meeting between Ahmadinejad and religious and political leaders. Visit the Assemblyman’s website here!

Check back daily to see updates on participating organizations, speakers, logistics, press coverage and new posters and flyers to download for the rally!

Thanks to the many, many groups and individuals who are attending and helping with people, resources and outreach efforts – it’s a tremendous outpouring of effort in a short time in response to the outrage of this “religious” appeasement dinner for Ahmadinejad. We plan to post the list of participating groups Monday, September 22, and it will be updated daily after that.
