A new monthly feature: We are sisters. Support for women worldwide.

One night, I was speaking to one of my favorite Twitter friends, Melissa, about the situation in Iran. I told her the women of Iran were our sisters, she agreed, but took the sentiment even further. She said all women are our sisters.

While speaking to her, I was thinking about a series of blog posts I planned here. I wanted to spread the word about the situation in Iran and get help for the Iranian women, being tortured, killed, and silenced.

She made my thoughts stop and restart in a wonderful new way. We are sisters was born.

Each month, I'll talk about a group of our sisters that need us. I'll tell you their stories and give you ways to help. I'll link up to your blog posts, and we'll make a difference.

Because we owe it to our sisters.

And, I'll start this month in Iran.... Watch for posts over the next month.
