Mahsa Amini became a symbol of resistance, women’s rights, and freedom not only under the tyrannic regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran but all across the world. Her name meanwhile resonates as a parable for all female individuals across the globe who wants to be vocal standing for their equity and women’s right. So we must not forget her name, hence, designating the name of this square as Mahsa Amini, would encourage female migrants from suppressive countries and also their peer women to be more aware of their rights and privileges.

On December 14th, 2022, the West Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce anonymously approved a motion to name the intersection of Rochester Street and Westwood Blvd. as Mahsa Amini Square. A request was sent to Los Angeles City Council District 5 for consideration of this important motion.
This motion is a gesture to honor Mahsa Amini, a 22 years old Iranian woman, and thousands of other courageous Iranian protesters who have been imprisoned, tortured, killed and executed for demonstration for their basic rights in the streets of Iran by the brutal Islamic Republic of Iran.
We urge the Los Angeles City Council District 5 to join the global fight against human rights abuse in Iran
