Dear friends,we totally agree with the need to write a message to condemn the acts of violence that have been striking Iraq lately and to express our solidarity with Iraqi people. We also agree with the text proposed by Judith and with the idea of signing it. 
Here are our names:
Nicola Visconti, A.D. Sport Against Violence, Italy.
Elena Laurenti, A.D. Sport Against Violence, Italy.

Thank you!
Best,
Elena

      Thanks also for the following text, that I ask everyone to check
      and eventually amend within tomorrow night, 4th of July. It is
        a solidarity message that we agreed to write today. When we
        finalize it, it can circulate in our lists and be disseminated
        in Iraq (we'll need to make an Arabic translation).> 
      > 
      I suggest that we add to this statement signatures of the
      International Committee for the ISF only, and we spread it asap,
      since it's a very simple message. What do others think?>

      If you agree with the text please confirm if we can add your
      endorsement! I can collect signature, but I need:>

        (Iraqi
        Social Forum) is to build peace and overcome all forms of
        violence in
        Iraq. The very fact that the ISF is still scheduled to take
        place in
        the face of the current wave of bombings is in itself not only a
        challenge, but a way of defying this violence and proving that
        peace
        and another Iraq are possible.

        we strongly condemn all the current acts of violence, and
