On Monday, Dec. 8th through Wednesday, Dec. 10th two Iraqi women, Amal Al-Khedairy and Nermin Al-Mufti, who since the end of October have been touring this country speaking of the reality in Iraq, will be here in Connecticut. Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice is organizing their visit to Connecticut, as part of the nationwide tour being sponsored by Fellowship of Reconciliation.
Their Connecticut visit is also being co-sponsored by a growing list of other groups, including CT AFSC, Promoting Enduring Peace, the New Haven Peace Council, and several groups at the universities where they will be speaking. This is a wonderful and much needed opportunity for us to hear from two very accomplished, informed, and passionate Iraqi women who will be sharing their personal experiences and extensive knowledge about Iraq's culture, history, and people, and conditions now in the midst of war and occupation. The Steering Committee of RTPV feels incredibly grateful that Connecticut has been included on the tour.
All Welcome No Registration Needed
