STORY COLLABORATIVE TO END THE WAR IN IRAQ

I am here for Networking

About Me

The STORY Collaborative to End the War in Iraq is an effort to bring you(th) from diverse backrounds (military families, immigrant families, rural + urban, students, activists) together with young Veterans of the Iraq War to share stories, strategies, and solutions. Join us!

The smartMeme STORY program (Strategy, Training + Organizing Resources for Youth) works with students and youth across the US who are developing creative solutions to our worlds most troubling problems: racism, war, injustice, eco-disasters and the corporate media monolith.

smartMeme is a nonprofit strategy + training organization, dedicated to amplifying the impact of movements working for peace, justice, democracy and ecological sanity.

Through storytelling and strategic organizing, we are building movements to recapture our collective future.
