The courageous movement in Iran is reaching an incredibly inspiring new stage that needs to be understood, learned from and supported by people who care about justice everywhere.

To learn more about the situation, Sam Goldman interviews two experts on the topic: Jasmin Ramsey, Deputy Director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran (follow @ICHRI and @jasminramsey; website iranhumanrights.org) and Sussan Tahmasebi, Executive Director, FEMENA (follow @FemenaNet and @sussantweets; website femena.net). 

Plus: commentary from Coco Das on latest from the Jan 6 hearings and the commission's vote to subpoena Trump.

*The translation of the Iranian protest anthem "Baraye" by Shervin Hajipour was done and sung by Rana Mansour. Find more from her at ranamusic.com.
