Colonel Ann Wright
Gaza Flotilla Survivor Tells Her Story

The Gaza Flotilla and Breaking the Siege of Gaza.

A benefit for the U.S. Boat to Gaza

Colonel Ann Wright is a former U.S. Army colonel and a high-level U.S.diplomat who resigned in opposition to the Iraq War, one of three State Department officials to publicly resign in direct protest of the March 2003 invasion of Iraq. She was a passenger on the Challenger 1, which along with the Mavi Marmara, was part of the Gaza flotilla that was attacked in international waters while trying to break the blockade and take humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Suggested minimum donation: $20 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds.

(There will be a private reception to meet Colonel Ann Wright before the event. Please contact 14friendsofpalestine@gmail.com for details.)

Words for Acts

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies. From these proceed debt and taxes. And armies, debts and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few...No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

James Madison, 1795
