Demand a Withdrawal of US Troops from Iraq Now

From Vivian Stromberg, Executive Director, MADRE:

"In the US, we rarely hear the story of the war in Iraq told from the perspective of women who live there. So what are Iraqi women saying on the sixth anniversary of the US invasion? The same thing they've been saying since 2003: end the occupation now. Polls consistently show that a majority of Iraqis want US troops out.

This week marks six years since the US invaded Iraq. In that time, women have not only faced mounting violence--they have also organized a movement to confront US occupation and violence against women.

The women of Iraq are creating the foundation on which a peaceful and just future will be built. It's time our administration starts listening to them.

Help us tell President Obama that now is the time for change."
