Reporting from Occupied Iraq
Baghdad correspondent Dahr Jamail will discuss his experience covering the missing stories of Iraqis under occupation. A journalist for the NewStandard, Jamail spent nine weeks in Iraq reporting on the privatization of the people, the resulting economic crisis, the violent insurrections against the occupation and the heavy-handed tactics of the US military against the people.
Along with a short documentary film, Jamail will share photos and stories from his work as an independent media reporter, and NewStandard editors will speak about their unique online publication. This event, co-sponsored by the Washington Peace Center, the American Friends Service Committee in DC, and Code Pink, will be held on Wednesday, March 17, from 7 to 9 p.m., at 2027 Massachusetts Ave. NW (Dupont Circle Metro).
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.
