Iraq Forum and Lobby Days, an
educational and grassroots advocacy program open to all people concerned about
US policy in the Middle East.
The Iraq Forum is a weekend-long event
featuring an intensive educational forum and high-powered advocacy
training. The event will host some of the most knowledgeable experts on
Iraq. Iraq historian Charles Tripp, Iraqi intellectual Laith Kubba, former
UNSCOM weapons inspector Scott Ritter, and Middle East analyst
Phyllis Bennis are among
the speakers invited (confirmations will be posted).
Lobby Days
provide an exciting opportunity for people across the country to come to Washington, DC and oppose the Bush
administration's escalating war against
Iraq. Participants will meet with members
of Congress to discuss the plight of the Iraqi people and the growing threat of a U.S. invasion of
Iraq.
Due to the gathering

be the most effective event to date. Your participation is vital to its success.
