Good Kurds, Bad Kurds
Every summer, the interns at Foreign Policy in Focus (FPIF) organize an annual film and speaker series that focuses on a variety of the hottest foreign policy topics of the day. This week brings “Good Kurds, Bad Kurds,” which explores the disparate and fickle relationship of the United States with Iraqi Kurds and with Turkish Kurds. The film offers insight into a complicated history and explores the politically driven foreign and domestic policies of the United States. It will be shown on Wednesday, July 2, from noon to 2 p.m., at the Institute for Policy Studies, 733 15th St. NW. For more information, call 202/234-9383.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
