======== UJPJ URGENT UPDATE: PEOPLE'S HEARING ON THE LASTING IMPACT OF THE
         WAR IN IRAQ =========================================================

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The war isn’t over for so many, everyone in Iraq, and vets and their  
families here at home, how will you remember what they can not forget?

Our allies at *Iraq Veterans Against the War*, the *Center on Constitutional  
Rights*, the *Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq *and the *Federation  
of Workers Councils and Unions in Iraq *invite you to join them in  
Washington, DC March 26 for:

*PEOPLE’S HEARING ON THE LASTING IMPACT OF THE WAR IN IRAQ*

On the 11th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Iraqi civil society  
leaders and U.S. military veterans will testify to the lasting impact of the  
war and make the case that the U.S. government must be held to account for  
the serious damage it has caused. From the U.S.’s role in sectarian  
violence and the ongoing health crisis caused by toxic munitions and burn  
pits used during the occupation, to the destructive effects of multiple and  
concurrent deployments and stigma faced when attempting to access care and  
support from the Department of Veterans Affairs, they are demanding the Right  
to Heal. We encourage you to participate to your greatest ability.

*Yanar Mohammed *is president and co-founder of the Organization of Women’s  
Freedom in Iraq (OWFI).
*Falah Alwan *is President of the Federation of Workers Councils and Unions  
in Iraq (FWCUI). *U.S. Military Veterans *will speak about their experiences  
with Military Sexual Trauma, Deployment with Trauma, and environmental  
impacts.

*Mozhgan Savabieasfahani *is an environmental toxicologist with a focus on  
health impacts of war.
*John Tirman *is Executive Director and Principal Research Scientist at the  
MIT Center for International Studies.

*Pamela Spees *is a Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Constitutional  
Rights.
