Wednesday, Denver, CO
I’ve been on the Wheels of Justice Tour for four days. The tour pairs eyewitness accounts from Palestine and Iraq. I have been speaking with two women who have spent time in Iraq. Kelly is from the Colorado National Guard and served as an mp. Dahlia is an Iraqi American doctor with family in Baghdad and Basra. It’s been intense, listening to their stories and to the stories of those in the audience. I did an event on my own at the Best Charter School. The kids were great. We have a bus driver named Bob who is funny and loves Charlie. They often hang out in the bus together while an event is going on.

When we arrived at the lounge at Tivoli Auraria campus, where we were giving our presentation, there was only one vertical person. Dahlia is holding up a publication entitled “Sign of the Times.”
