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.

tell: the stories of war resisters, unembedded journalists, and
activists. 
 
Resisting Empire starts with us.   
 
Dahr Jamail, (www.dahrjamailiraq.com) winner
of the 2007 Martha Gelhorn prize for journalism,  will be cutting

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
