Dahr Jamail's books, Beyond the Green Zone and The Will to Resist, carry rare accounts of what was - and is
- happening in the wars. Jamail is a respected journalist dedicated to speaking the truth. His “dispatches” are
carried by many independent media outlets and can found at his blog http://dahrjamailiraq.com/.Josh Stieber, along with Conor Curran, both Iraq War veterans, established the contagiousloveexperiment
and traveled the country on foot, then on bicycle, to share their experiences. A read of the opening page of
their journal is well worth your time and will lead you to explore their experiment.
Salam Hassan assisted Dahr Jamail in Iraq as a translator, and works with media outlets to tell the real story
of Iraq. Salam's brother, Ali, was shot in Baghdad as a result of the war in Iraq while driving to work.
Mark Johnson, Executive Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, is recognized as an internationalchange agent committed to social justice and economic and environmental sustainability.
