When I was in Afghanistan, I had the honor of interviewing renowned activist, former parliamentarian, and feminist Malalai Joya. Her work and courage to denounce Afghan government's corruption and US occupation of her country have been an inspiration to many throughout the world. Knowing this, I was greatly dismayed but not surprised when the U.S. State Department denied Joya a visa to enter the United States for a speaking tour. Fortunately, after a campaign of public pressure, the U.S. government has relented, and Joya is now in the U.S. to share her story. Thanks to all who campaigned on her behalf! In conjunction with Joya's travels in the U.S., I am pleased to announce our short film "MILITARISM, MUTILATION, AND MINERALS: UNDERSTANDING THE OCCUPATION OF AFGHANISTAN". I urge you to watch, share the video, and stay involved with these important issues:http://www.culturesofresistance.org/malalai-joya
