Nahid Lienke moved to the United States from Iran more than 30 years ago to study sociology at Miami Dade College and settled in Los Angeles with her husband, Tupper.
After decades of traveling back and forth to Iran and hoping for a thaw in relations between the two countries, Lienke has hope that a potential nuclear agreement with the Islamic Republic will squelch any chance of war.
That's why she joined some 60 other demonstrators in chant Wednesday afternoon in front of Rep. Ted Lieu's Los Angeles office, urging the freshman congressman to join the growing chorus of Democrats who support the deal when it comes before Congress for a vote next month.
