Here and around the world, people want to see an end to the Iraq War and a change in the reckless direction of U.S. foreign policy.


U.S. aggression has inflicted a humanitarian catastrophe—from Iraq, to Afghanistan, and beyond—with millions of people killed or turned into refugees.


American troops continue to suffer and die, while schools and hospitals fall apart.
A new resistance needs to be built from the ground up.


To build it, we need to hear the stories the mainstream media refuse to tell: the stories of war resisters, unembedded journalists, and activists.


Resisting Empire starts with us.  See: www.resistingempire.org


Dahr Jamail, (www.dahrjamailiraq.com) winner of the 2007 Martha Gelhorn prize for journalism,  will be cutting through the media lies of a "successful surge", offering a depiction of what occupation really looks like, and a humanizing rather than demonizing perspective on the Iraqi people.  He'll speaking on his new release from Haymarket: Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches From an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq
