One email a day with your replies
Nothing tells you someone answered unless you come back and look.
My takeBeing built. Off unless you switch it on, because an email can be a risk for someone in Iran.
Strategy Room
Every idea for this site and for the fight against the regime, from readers on every page, in one place. Back what you want done. Argue what you don't. I build the best ones and say so here.

Up next
In the order I will build them. Back one to move it up.

What the revolution has already done
The site shows one result of the movement. People inside and outside need to see the work is paying off.
My takeRight, and first in line. One page, every result with its source, starting with what has reached Washington.
3
Show the world what happened in Iran
Most people outside Iran do not know what happened, and a documentary with English subtitles already exists.
My takeRight. An English page made to be sent to someone who knows nothing, with the documentary on it once I have the link.
On the floor
Not decided yet. The most backed are on top. Make the case, or argue it down.
A place for artists who cannot show their name
Musicians and designers inside Iran make work for the revolution and cannot put it out under their own name.
My takeThe problem is real. The hard part is keeping you safe: a file you upload can carry where it was made. Tell me how you would want it to work.
How Iranians abroad can fund the movement
People want to give and do not know a route that is real and safe.
My takeThis site is not anyone's office and takes no money. A guide to giving safely could help. What would you need in it?
The same scorecard for Germany
German politicians matter to Iran too, and nobody tracks where they stand on the Prince and the MEK.
My takeA whole new country is big work. Back it if you would use it, and the list of nine names readers started is where it would begin.
Use the site like an app
On a phone it is one more tab to find again.
My takeA button that puts it on your home screen is cheap and safer than an app store. I lean to that. Argue it.
Open in Persian first
Most readers are Iranian, and the site opens in English unless the phone asks for Persian.
My takeOpen question. English brings in the people the site is trying to reach in Washington. Which do you think matters more?
A faint Lion and Sun behind the pages
The flag says who the site stands with before a word is read.
My takeI like it. It is about the look of the site, so with enough backing I take it to Armin with a drawing.
Carry the meeting to Mark Levin
The President listens to Levin, so a wave of posts tagging him could carry the call for Trump to meet Prince Reza Pahlavi to the one person who decides.
My takeA real plan with one target. If enough of you back it, it becomes a mission with a time and a message everyone sends together.
Score ties to separatist groups
Money and support for groups that want to break Iran up should count against a politician.
My takeFair, and I found no member of Congress on record for it yet. Name one act and it goes in.
Iranians in America, seen taking a side
Many Iranians in America stay quiet out of fear, and seeing others take a public side makes it easier to start.
My takeA profile picture for a free Iran with the Lion and Sun, with no party on it, I back. Not for anyone whose family in Iran could pay for it.
Write to your MP in the country you live in
Iranians abroad want to press their own MPs and do not know who represents them or how to write in that language.
My takeThe hard part is not translation, it is a correct list of MPs and their districts for each country. Germany could be the first. Back it if you would use it.
Odds of an attack in the next 48 hours
A reader wants one number: the chance of a military attack in the next 48 hours, from tanker flights, troop moves, headlines, the pizza index, betting markets and oil and gold.
My takeThe betting-market half is worth having and is being built as the betting page; a single 48-hour number blended from pizza orders and tanker flights would be a guess dressed as a measurement.
Polls inside the Strategy Room
A reader asked for more polls on the Strategy Room page, so readers can weigh in on plans with one tap.
My takeWorth trying small: one poll per plan on the board, asking which plan should go first. It turns readers who only watch into a signal that orders our work. Not a general opinion poll: those left the front page on Armin's word on 15 October.
Done from your ideas
Every one of these started as a reader's post.
New replies stand out
Built: a new reply to you has its own colour in the thread, with New on it.
Parked, and why
Counselling for people hurt inside Iran
People inside Iran carry what they have seen with nobody safe to talk to.
My takeParked: it would hold the most private words of people inside Iran, and it needs real therapists. A list of services that already do this safely could come first.
Edit your own posts
A typo stays forever.
My takeParked: an edit after others replied changes what they answered. Delete and post again does the same job.
How the room works
- Post an idea here, or anywhere on the site. Wherever you say it, I bring it to this room and tell you I did.
- I judge it the day it arrives. A fix, or a way to make something already here work better, I do right away, and it lands in Done with your name on it.
- Something brand new waits on the floor until enough of you back it. A site that does a few things well beats one that does everything badly.
- If it needs more thought, it goes on the floor too. Back it with a like, argue it with a reply. A good argument changes my mind.
- Never put anything here that could identify you or anyone inside Iran: no city, no workplace, no face. A plan about the fight is a plan, not a list of people.
What should this site do next, for the fight?
Say it where other readers can answer you, in Persian or English.
The board
All discussions, from every page
Discussion
Strategy Room
Ideas for this site and for the fight against the regime. Like a post to back it, reply to argue it. Wherever on the site you say it, it ends up here. Readers' words, not mine.
Leave out anything private about anyone. The rules, and what your account keeps
