In an era where ‘Resistance’ had in time turned to a thing of the past and the world saw diplomacy and appeasement as the only path forward in turbulent times, there were those who chose to stand and resist against tyrannic regimes with one motto:

We Can & We Must!

Believing that if they stood, the world would stand with them.

Through their determination resistance units were born, fear was broken, and continuous Iran protests took center stage, showcasing the resilience of the Iranian people in their unwavering quest for freedom.

Resistance can’t be extinguished. Refracting light will only enhance its brightness!

And now it’s your chance to be a part of the history in the making because resistance is the need of all who seek liberation. 

Join us at the Free Iran World Summit, online and in-person, 23-24 July 2022.

#FreeIran2022

“This is a rebellion against what is, to achieve what must come! We can and we must free Iran.”

– MARYAM RAJAVI

  • “We can and must forge ahead with all our might. We must prove to our people in Iran that the slogan “we can, and we must” is an objective determination, and it is accessible and practical.”

    Maryam Rajavi

  • “Standing up for the human rights of the people of Iran is not only necessary but vital to helping ensure that the Iranian people know that America and all peace-loving people stand with them in their pursuit of liberty, democracy, and a peaceful Iran”

    Congressman Dr. Raul Ruiz (D-CA)

  • “You today form the backbone of a growing and powerful resistance to the corrupt regime in Tehran, a resistance that with your perseverance will never ever be silenced”

    Secretary Deborah Lee James, Former US Secretary of the Air Force

  • “The National Council of Resistance of Iran led by its president-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi is the Iranian people’s opposition to the current regime. It is a four-decade old coalition of democratic forces that has persevered against the mullahs”

    Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela, Women’s rights advocate

  • “There is only one popular, organized, magnificently led organization that can provide the democratic alternative to the existing regime. Only one group with proven leadership. Only one group with an exciting and clear vision for the future of Iran. A group led by an inspiring Muslim woman who mirrors the aspirations of the Iranian people who seek a secular republic with gender equality, separation of church and state, respect for human rights, and peaceful coexistence with its neighbors. A new Iran, a force for good, for human rights, for stability, and for peace. We join you in solidarity to raise our voice in support of a free Iran, regime change, and the strong and inspirational leadership of Madame Rajavi.”

    Tom Ridge, former U.S. Homeland Security Secretary and Governor of Pennsylvania

  • “Now, we are facing a new step, a new benchmark, a new era; the era of freedom in Iran. We should not mix up the regime in Iran with the people of Iran. The people of Iran certainly not only believe in Madame Rajavi’s plan for free Iran but they are completely ready to build up such a new country.”

    Bernard Kouchner Former French Foreign Minister, co-founder of Médecins Sans Frontieres

  • “The regime in Iran fears you, Maryam for what you represent and what you are. You are the unbreakable resistance; after 40 years of fighting here we are! stronger than ever. You are the beacon of hope. You are the rose in the desert. You are the force of change. And you are the phoenix rising from the ashes, for peace in Iran, and in the region, and as a guarantee of peace in the world”

    Ingrid Betancourt, Presidential Candidate of Colombia

  • “I come here to say, never-ever give up, never-ever give in, and never-ever lose faith. I got arrested 40 times, went to jail, beaten, left bloody and unconscious on the Freedom Rides. But we didn’t give up. And people who support the people in Iran must, never-ever, give up. As long as the people of Iran are denied their basic rights as human beings – people all over the world are denied their rights. So, hang in there.”

    Late Congressman John Lewis

  • “You have stood up and fought and sacrificed for freedom, for the right to live free, for the right to determine your own future, for the rights that are God-given.

    I thank you for being an example, an example to the whole world, that those people who are willing to fight and sacrifice for freedom will achieve it, and you are an example to everyone in the world that is struggling for freedom”

    Late Sen John McCain

  • “The resistance movementled by Madame Rajavi is at the forefront of the struggle for a free and democratic Iran and serves as a beacon of hope for millions of oppressed people in Iran. All my colleagues here from the Houses of Parliament support Madame Rajavi‘s 10-point plan. This is a plan that gives a future for Iran, which provides a clear and viable alternative to the current theocratic regime.”

    Dr. Matthew Offord, MP

  • “Iran will be free because of your fight. It will be free because of our sister, Maryam Rajavi. Iran will be free someday and I will be there with you standing in the sunlight of the beauty of Iran and people and we will cry together because freedom has come. Never give up. And we won’t give up on the democracy of this land. And we will stand for freedom as well. And I believe that we will together join, unify, never give up.”

    Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX)

  • “Martin Luther King had a dream of civil and economic rights for all the people in the United States; and it came true. Gandhi had a dream to free his people from colonist oppression and it came true. Nelson Mandela had a dream to end apartheid that suffocated his people, and it came true. Mrs. Rajavi, your dream is noble, and it is enshrined a in your 10-point plan, you will make that dream come true like the other heroes of our life. Our dream is to see Mrs. Rajavi lead a free and democratic Iran. And we all will see it come soon.”

    Maria Candida Almeida, Deputy Attorney General of Portugal

  • “Freedom ultimately involves charismatic leaders who communicate both a sense of hope, a vision of a better future, a moral cause, and an ability to connect with people. In our country, that was George Washington and his young supporter, the Marquis de Lafayette. In Italy, it was Garibaldi. I can tell you from years of having come here that in history, the name of your president-elect, Maryam Rajavi, will go down in the same tradition of fighters for freedom as Washington, Lafayette, and Garibaldi. And she’s a great leader because she has great followers, because so many of you are so dedicated. I know that this movement is going to be a movement that goes down in history as one of the great examples of the human spirit defeating the evils of dictatorship.”

    Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House

  • “Iran must be free. The dictatorship must be destroyed. Containment is appeasement, and appeasement is surrender. The only practical goal is to support a movement to free Iran. After all, a dictatorship that appoints as its President someone who killed 30,000 people is telling you everything you need to know about the core nature of that dictatorship. “

    Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House

  • “A special recognition, to some of the people I admire most, the point of the spear in the struggle for Iranian freedom, the residents of Ashraf, who spend their every waking hour thinking about how to maneuver the Iranian people into a new, prosperous, and free future. Every signal from every corner shows we are now writing the last chapter in this struggle for freedom.”

    Senator Robert Torricelli

  • “There is only one organization that promises the destruction of the regime; the building of the democratic future, that can muster the resources, make the sacrifice and restore the nation; that organization is the MEK and its leader is Madame Rajavi”

    Senator Robert Torricelli

  • “To those in Ashraf3, you are now the point of the spear. Our hopes, our prayers rest with you to destroy the mullahs and create a free Iran.

    In Iran the name Rajavi is synonymous with freedom and a hope for a better future.”

    Senator Robert Torricelli
