[pjw] VIDEO: Kathy Kelly tells human tales of war zones next two weeks on the Video Bus

[Peace and Justice Works]

Hello Iraq Affinity Group supporters and allies

The talk given by Kathy Kelly in September will be airing on cable access 
over the next two weeks. We hope at the Iraq Affinity Group to get 
together the $75 to get "streaming rights" so we can be sure this show 
goes online to where everyone gets a chance to see it! If you can send 
$10, $15, $25 or even the whole $75 and mark it for the "Ruth Holt 
Memorial Peace Journey Fund" that would be great!

The announcement about the event is still up here:
http://www.pjw.info/KKelly2018event.html

and lists the other cosponsors who helped make Kathy's visit possible.

The timing is great as the Senate and House are poised to pass a 
Resolution which would essentially end support for the Saudi war on Yemen. 
(Though it still allows for US drone strikes, but that's another story.)

And yes, I helped organize the event, ran the slide projector, videotaped 
the talk and edited this show. So... why am I so tired?

Feel free to share this information!

Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, author and Nobel
Peace Prize Nominee, spoke at Portland Community College (Cascade) on September
27. Having traveled to Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Gaza, Kelly was able to
relay not just information about how the US government is directly and
indirectly responsible for the military conflicts in those nations, but moving
stories about the people affected by the wars. As someone who has been arrested
dozens of times for nonviolent direct actions, Kelly also relays stories about
women she met in prison.

The fact that the US has been at war in Iraq more or less since 1991, the war in
Afghanistan continues after 17 years, and the US (at the time of her talk and of
this writing) continues to support the Saudi war on the people of Yemen means
this information is important for anyone who wants to know what their tax
dollars are supporting.

Ms. Kelly's talk was coordinated by Associated Students of Portland Community
College (Cascade) and Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group. The program
was recorded and edited by FFVC member Dan Handelman.
