Thousands gathered outside L.A. City Hall, calling for regime change in Iran and rallying in solidarity with the country's female-led protest movement.
Mass protests have erupted in Iran over the death of a young woman in custody, but a sustained and lethal government crackdown could be the result.Mona and Tamanna, two Iranian American sisters in their early 30s who declined to share their last name because they feared for their family in Iran, said they were inspired to be part of the chorus of voices around the world demanding change in Iran. They’d carpooled up to Los Angeles from Orange County with 15 family members in tow.

Regime change feels closer with “every single second that passes by,” Ghiassi said.
