Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan

Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan will feature testimony from U.S. veterans who served
in those occupations, giving an accurate account of what is really happening day in and day
out, on the ground. The four-day event, March 13-16, will bring together veterans from across
the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and present video and
photographic evidence. In addition, there will be panels of scholars, veterans, journalists, and
other specialists to give context to the testimony. These panels will cover everything from the
history of the GI resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support.

In Washington DC, U.S. veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will testify
about what is really happening on the ground in those occupations. UFPJ is helping
local groups organize public viewings of the hearings via live video feed.

The power of these hearings will increase exponentially if groups and individuals
organize local gatherings where people in every corner of the country can witness it.

Now is the time to plan a gathering (or perhaps several gatherings in your area) where people
can collectively listen to the live broadcasts of the hearings. This will be an incredible opportunity
to reach out and engage with people who have not yet become active in bringing the war to an end.
