A People's Hearing on the consequences of the Iraq war and occupation

[Ross Caputi]

Dear Friends,

The Justice for Fallujah Project is co-sponsoring A People’s Hearing next Wednesday, March 26th in Washington DC. This hearing is meant to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq by gathering testimony from Iraqi civil society leaders and U.S. military veterans about the lasting impact of the war. Many Iraqi and American organizations are coming together during this hearing to work towards holding the US government accountable for the serious damage it has caused.
