Conference for Solidarity with Iraqi Workers

Dear Friend,

Solidarity with the Iraqi workers' and women's movements
Conference 1 July 2006, London

Please come to the conference on "Solidarity with
the Iraqi workers' movement" on Saturday 1 July,
13:30 to 17:30 at the Resource Centre, 356
Holloway Road, London N7 (Seminar Room One).

The purpose of this conference is to bring
together groups from across Europe which are
campaigning in support of the workers' and
women's movements in Iraq, fighting for an
egalitarian and secular politics against both the
US/UK occupation and the sectarian militias. It
is open to all groups which share these basic
priorities.

We can exchange information about our campaigning
activities; discuss developments in Iraq and
establish points of agreement and common
understanding; and discuss possible international
initiatives and campaigns.

The provisional agenda is:
1. Reports on the situation in Iraq, by activists recently returned
from Iraq.
2. Reports on activity from campaigns represented
at the meeting, including IUS and Solidarité Irak.
3. Presentation of and discussion on the Iraq Freedom Congress
initiative.
4. Discussion on follow-up activities, including
the possibility of a further, larger conference
at a later date.
5. Exchange of views on the situation in Iran and
activities in solidarity with the workers' and
women's movements in Iran, against both the US
war threat and the Islamic regime.

You may be interested to know that immediately
following the conference and also in the Resource
Centre, at 18:30, the well-known American writer
Greg Palast will be speaking on his new book "Mad
House", about big business and the Iraq war, as
part of the Alliance for Workers' Liberty summer
school going on in the Resource Centre that same
weekend, 1-2 July.
