Against the war in Iraq? ...so are we.
Peace Forum is a student-run organization that is open to all members of the College Park community. It was founded shortly after September 11, 2001 to widen the debate surrounding war and militarism by creating a forum within which all anti-war points of view are welcome. We have sponsored many successful speaker events, forum discussions, and protests in which students and others from many backgrounds and perspectives have been able to exchange views on various aspects of U.S. foreign policy and militarism. We are currently organizing for an end to the foreign occupation of Iraq and for bringing the troops home NOW! Peace Forum is a local chapter of the Campus Antiwar Network.
Weekly Peace Forum Meetings: Weds., 7:30 p.m. @ 2120 JMZ
Veterans are welcome to attend! Peace Forum supports Iraq Veterans against the War!

For Now, They Struggle: An Iraqi-Jewish Perspective on the U.S. Occupation
Dr. Dahlia Wasfi was born in 1971 and spent her early childhood in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, until she returned with her family to the United States in 1977. Dr. Wasfi graduated from Swarthmore College in 1993 with a B.A. in Biology, and in 1997 graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. In February/March of 2004, after years of separation, Wasfi visited Iraq to see her family in Basrah and Baghdad. She journeyed to Iraq again for a 3-month visit in 2006. Based on her experiences, she is speaking out against the negative impact of the U.S. invasion on the Iraqi people and the need to end the occupation.
