Dear Agnes
It’s make or break time for diplomacy with Iran.

Next month, Presidents Barack Obama and Hassan Rouhani will be in the same
place for the first time, attending the UN General Assembly in New York.
An overture toward the new Iranian president could help kick-start
diplomacy and avoid another devastating war.

Let’s raise our voices to make it happen.

Efforts that could sabotage diplomacy with Iran are already well underway.
Just this week, a prominent pair of politicians—a Republican and
Democrat—called for sanctions on Iran that will “bring the Iranian
economy to near-ruin.” [1] If you were the new president of Iran, would
you interpret that as an invitation to engage?

We are pushing back hard by launching our Seize the Moment campaign. We
are working with partners around the country to mobilize thousands of
people and build a groundswell of support for President Obama to reach out
to Iran’s new president. He’s going to face intense pressure to keep
squeezing Iran rather than engage in smart negotiations. Lack of
diplomatic progress will fuel calls for more aggression and put us on a
path toward war.

If we want to stop the run-up to war, we need to drown out our opponents
now.

Your signature will be delivered with thousands of others to the White
House right before the UN General Assembly. We can’t afford to be silent
now. Thank you for taking action.

Rebecca Griffin
Political Director
