I was in Iraqi Kurdistan for most of May, meeting with women, LGBTQ and peace organizations, academics, and villagers affected by oil company Dana Gas and Turkey’s cross-border bombings. I heard about the internally displaced Iraqis, PKK, Yezidis and Chaldean Christians. On Saturday, July 15, I will report back with photos and discussion on Iraqi/Kurdistan. Click here to join in!

P.S. For summer reading, we recommend Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman’s Kingdom of Olives and Ash, chronicling life in occupied Palestine, and Choman Hardi’s Considering the Women in Iraq/Kurdistan. And watch this terrific 30-minute documentary about the US military base in Guantanamo, Cuba, All Guantanamo is Ours.
