We set up the exhibit out side the room for all the students and professors in the building to see. The exhibit looked great! Everyone was stopping to look.
Once the speakers had 5 min to chat, we started the event with Chelsea moderating. There were about 80 ppl in the audience from the school and Burlington community. Raed spoke first then Rostam and then Antonia. The audience heard lots of information about the economic colonization of Iraq by Antonia who focused on the US corporate take over of Iraq explaining how Bechtel, Halliburton and others had won huge contracts to reconstruct Iraq after the invasion and had squandered all of our billions of dollars. She explained how we could put pressure on the companies directly and through congress about canceling the current contracts and especially on contracts that have not received payment yet. What we should be doing is asking for this money to be transferred to Iraqi’s to re-build themselves.
There of course was much more that was talked about, but as I am in the car now I will tell you later.
