Meetings on the Iraqi resistance in April

There will be a presentation sponsored by the UNC-CH
chapter of Students for a Democratic Society this
Thursday about the armed Iraqi resistance and a recent
conference in Italy.

There are two Hanes buildings at UNC, but I think the
one this event is in is the one on the south side of
Cameron Avenue.  If you're going towards Carrboro on
Cameron, Hanes is the building facing you if you go
into the first parking lot on the left after you pass
Raleigh St. and the Old Well (on the right).  It is
also next to the Campus Y.  Most parking at UNC is
free after 5pm.

The non-partisan Triangle Socialist Forum is also
discussing Iraqi resistance to the occupation this
month.  There will be a showing of a 30-minute
documentary "Iraqi Civil Resistance," about several
non-violent movements, then discussion of the whole
range of Iraqi resistance and what we can do to
support a free Iraq.  The meeting will be April 29th
at 4:30 in the lower conference room at the Chapel
Hill Public Library (off of Estes Rd. close to the
intersection with E. Franklin St.).  I will post some
suggested readings later this week.

Report Back: A Meeting with the Iraqi Resistance
 
UNC-Chapel Hill SDS will host an event, Report Back:
A Meeting With the Iraqi Resistance
 http://chapelhillsds.org/node/122 , Thursday April
19 at 7:00 pm. Kosta Harlan, member of the Freedom Road
Socialist Organization, recently traveled to Italy to attend the
international conference, "With the Resistance, for a Just Peace in the Middle East"
(iraqiresistance.info).
The conference marks the first time that leaders of
the Iraqi national resistance have been able to speak in the West.
Kosta will report back on who the resistance is and why they fight; the
current conditions of the U.S. occupation of Iraq; the birth and development of the
Iraqi resistance; and the tasks of the U.S. antiwar movement. Q&A to follow.
 
This event is free and open to the public. Donations welcome!
 
Note: UNC-Chapel Hill SDS does not necessarily endorse all the views of the
presenter.
