[pjw] REMINDER: "The US Invasion of Iraq: Intended or Unintended Consequences?" Tues June 25, 2024 5 PM

[Peace and Justice Works]

Hello IAG supporters
This is (I think) the final reminder about the livestream event with 
activist Noor Ghazi coming up on Tuesday, June 25 (not June 15 as I 
mistakenly wrote yesterday!!) at 5 PM Pacific Time.

People who tune in Monday at 5 PM Pacific Time at
https://www.youtube.com/peaceandjusticeworks will be able to watch the 
event live and send in questions for Ms. Ghazi to answer.

***If you don't see the information about the event when you get to the 
page, try clicking on the "live" tab and/or refresh the page, as the 
stream will begin only shortly before 5 PM***

The web page for the event:

https://www.pjw.info/n_ghazi_livestream062524.html

has had a social media header on it (which initially had the wrong link... 
just fixed that), in case you share stuff that way. We don't...

Thanks, hope to hear from you on Tuesday with some questions and/or 
feedback about the event!

     "The U.S. Invasion of Iraq: Intended or Unintended Consequences?"
                 an evening with peace activist Noor Ghazi
            Tuesday, June 25, 2024 5:00 PM PDT live stream at
                 youtube.com/peaceandjusticeworks

     Noor Ghazi, an Iraqi-American peace activist based in the United
     States, will appear on a livestream presentation on Tuesday, June 25.
     Ms. Ghazi will speak about the history of US involvement in Iraq,
     including the effects of sanctions and the 1991 "Gulf War," the 2003 US
     invasion, and the resulting 20+ years of turmoil in her native land.
     Her personal experience makes this more than a recitation of history.
     The event will be hosted by KBOO's Lisa Loving. The presentation will
     be followed by a moderated Q&A.

     Ms. Ghazi holds an MA in Peace and Conflict Studies with a focus on
     International Peace Development. She serves as Director of the
     University Sponsorship Program at Guilford College with Every Campus A
     Refuge (ECAR). Her involvement as a professor of practice at UNC Chapel
     Hill-US and visiting lecturer at Mosul University-Iraq has allowed her
     to dedicate time to peace projects, including a documentary
     highlighting life under ISIS in Mosul. With a strong emphasis on
     conflict in Iraq's modern history, Ms. Ghazi actively fosters
     collaborative efforts for peace building by creating inclusive
     platforms that unite diverse voices towards a more peaceful future in
     the region.

     Instructions for participating in the Q&A period after Ms. Ghazi's
     presentation will be posted at the time of the event, which will be
     livestreamed on YouTube at youtube.com/peaceandjusticeworks. The
     presentation is coordinated by Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity
     Group (IAG). It is cosponsored by War Resisters League-Portland
     Chapter, Peace Action Group at First Unitarian and Alliance for
     Democracy. It is endorsed by Oregon Progressive Party and partially
     funded by the IAG's Ruth Holt Memorial Peace Journey Fund.
