Johns Hopkins University will be the site of the first major anti-war event this fall in Baltimore. "Voices of Dissent," featuring music and speakers, will take place in Hodson Hall on the Homewood campus of the university on October 14 at 8:00 PM. Five speakers will provide up-to-date testimony about the devastating results of the war in Iraq: Lt. Paul Riechoff, who founded Operation Truth after returning from duty in Iraq in February, Mary Trotochaud and Rick McDowell, who served as peace delegation representatives of the American Friends Service Committee in Baghdad, Peggy Gish, who coordinates the work of the Christian Peacemaker Teams in Iraq, and Celeste Zappala, who lost her son in combat in Iraq. Charlie King and Karen Brandow, renowned musical storytellers and political satirists from Massachusetts, will perform two sets. The event will be hosted by Eric Gustafson, a veteran of the first Gulf War and Director of the Education for Peace in Iraq Center. Admission is gratis, but people are encouraged to bring school supplies which will be forwarded by the Johns Hopkins Interfaith Center to children in Iraq.
