DESCRIPTION:Three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Kathy Kelly and activist poet David 
 Smith-Ferri will report from their visit with Iraqi refugees in Amman, 
 Jordan, including video shot recently in Iraq. Their presentation will 
 bring the Iraqi people they’ve encountered into our midst. Kathy will 
 discuss the consequences of war -- for Iraqis, for Americans, for the 
 environment -- and call us into a campaign of sustained resistance. David 
 will read from his newly released volume of poetry, Battlefield Without 
 Borders. (All proceeds from the sale of the book will go directly to needy 
 Iraqi families and to a school for Iraqi refugee children.)\n\nKathy Kelly 
 helped found Voices in the Wilderness, a campaign to end the UN/U.S. 
 sanctions against Iraq, in 1996. Voices brought medicine and toys to Iraq 
 in open violation of the sanctions and has continued to work in solidarity 
 with the people of that country throughout the current occupation. Kelly 
 has served time in prison for actions against nuclear weapons and the 
 School of the Americas and has participated in nonviolent direct action 
 teams in Haiti, Bosnia, Palestine, and Lebanon as well as making 
 twenty-four visits to Iraq.\n\nDavid Smith-Ferri first visited Iraq as part 
 of a Voices in the Wilderness humanitarian and fact-finding delegation in 
 1999.  He returned to Iraq in 2002, where he became inspired to give voice 
 and form to his experiences through poetry.  Many of the poems that make up 
 Battlefield Without Borders were written in Iraq.\n\n
