IVAW is one of the most important anti-war voices in the peace movement. Their Web site features profiles and comments from many Iraq veterans now opposed to the ongoing Iraq-U.S. war.

This event will facilitate communication through art as a means to empower Iraq veterans and members of the community to take a stand against war.

Two members of the Vermont chapter of IVAW, Drew Cameron and Jon Turner, will be present to display their work and read poetry from the Warrior Writers collection. They will also hold a workshop on the process of turning combat fatigues into paper in conjunction with the Combat Paper Project (greendoorstudio.net).

There will also be music performed by local folk artist Ryan Harvey and members of local IVAW chapters will be present.

Please join us in taking another step towards ending this occupation, and supporting Iraq Veterans Against the War.
