       "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 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.
