On Tuesday, November 13, 2007, the Enough Fear campaign set up the first US/Iran direct phone link to allow Americans and Iranians to speak directly to each other. This was our first trial run of the phone system, and we're taking lessons from it to improve and expand this event.

Read press coverage of this event and get more information on our red phone campaign.

We're looking for volunteers in the US and Iran so that we can bring this event to more cities. The most urgent need we have is for volunteers in Iran who are willing to get on the phone for an hour or two and have discussions with Americans. You can join us by cell phone or Skype, and you can take part as an individual, or with a small group of your friends and family. We also need people in the US who want to help organize and staff the events, do publicity, and act as translators. If you'd like to volunteer, please email us at contact [at] enoughfear [dot] org .
