Here's a news write up by the Washington Times:

Human rights groups and Iran activists are organizing a massive "Global Day of Action" on Saturday, hoping to rally people in more than 60 cities in support of Iran's democracy movement.

The rallies are to take place from Kabul to Kansas City, from Tokyo to San Francisco and include a march in Washington, from the local office of the United Nations to the national Mall, said Hadi Ghaemi, spokesman for the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.
