 A Message from
 *Larry Diamond and Jeff Shank*

 *This March 2nd, 2014...the Day of the OSCARS...*
 * Tweet-for-the-Squares* (of Cairo and Kiev)
 *The Square*, about the Egyptian Revolution originating from *Tahrir*
*Square*, inspired and gave moral support to Ukrainians...who screened a
dubbed print outside in freezing weather in Kiev's *Independence Square*.  And
yet, *the first Egyptian film to ever be nominated for an Oscar*, cannot be
legally screened in Egypt --the very country whose revolution this film
chronicles.

 Learn about the film at the below 3 Links...and then pass these links on
to friends, family and colleagues by *email* or *Twitter*...and take a
moment to let your  representatives know that you support the Egyptian and
Ukrainian people in their struggle for Democracy.
