Join us for a thought-provoking program this Friday, April 7th, as we reflect on the 20th anniversary of the Iraq invasion with our special program, "The Invasion of Iraq; Looking Back Twenty Years Later." We've got an amazing lineup of dynamic content that includes videos from 2002 to just last month, including clips from the controversial 2004 Al Jazeera documentary "Control Room."
Revisit the massive protests that happened around the world prior to the war and explore why they didn't have the impact needed to prevent the invasion. Take a hard look at the mainstream media's shameful role in bringing the vast majority of Americans to support the invasion and their failure to question the lies from America's top leaders. Compare the Iraq invasion to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and see how Obama's point of view seemed to change after he was elected.

After the videos, we'll share some early still photos of the Topanga Peace Alliance protesting around Topanga from 2002 and 2003 and join in a lively discussion of what we can do now to encourage non-violent alternatives to war.
This is an event you don't want to miss! So mark your calendars for Friday at 7:15 pm Pacific Time, and join us on Zoom. Don't forget to turn on your camera and connect with other like-minded activists who are passionate about social justice and peace. We'll also be hosting announcements of upcoming events and actions you can take to make a difference.
Zoom doors open at 7:15, and the main event starts at 7:30.
