Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles presents a very special evening with: Kelly Hayes-Raitt speaking on "Face-to-Face with the Women of Iraq" Kelly Hayes-Raitt visited Iraq for ten days in February, just five weeks before the U.S. bombings and invasion. She spoke with hundreds of women and children at the neighborhood bomb shelter where over 400 Iraqis were killed in the 1991 bombings, at a pediatric hospital where children were dying of leukemia because they couldn't get the medicines they needed under U.N. sanctions, and in the streets and shops of Baghdad. Kelly is returning to Iraq for two weeks in June to find the children and women who touched her so deeply. She wants to see firsthand the true impact of the bombings and invasion on these individual's lives. Tuesday, June 10 * 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm at the magnificent home of Drs. Judith and Donald Broder, Studio City Seating is limited. When you make your reservation, PSR-LA will give you the address and directions. Call (213) 386-4901 x117. A tax-deductible donation will be requested to defray Kelly's upcoming fact-finding mission.
