By Rae Abileah, CODEPINK Local Group Coordinator Photos from the first full day of this historic week of action with the Iraqi women delegates, starting in New York City.
Pictured here are the Iraqi women delegates with the crew from Deep Dish productions, who spent the afternoon interviewing the women individually and as a group dialogue.
Iraqi women delegates: Faiza, Entisar, and Eman. Meeting with the Entisar, Eman, and Faiza is something I cannot yet put into words. Their stories and discussions are raw and heart opening and full of a pain that is beyond pain and a hope that is beyond hope.
When CODEPINK Cofounder Medea Benjamin arrived in New York from San Francisco, we all went out for a late afternoon walk through Central Park to see the snow. We spent the evening talking, working and eating.
