Raed Jarrar was born in Baghdad and spent most of his life in Iraq. In 2005 Jarrar came to the United States and has worked on many Iraq related projects, as a translator, interpreter, consultant and political analyst. Since the summer of 2006, Jarrar has worked at bridging the gap between Iraqi leaders and U.S. Congress members by arranging a series of face-to-face meetings between U.S. and Iraqi leaders. The other tour speaker, Jason Hurd, is the Southeast Regional Director of Iraq Veterans against the War. Jason spent ten years in the Army and National Guard and was deployed in 2005 to Iraq as a medic. Since returning to the U.S. Jason has been an advocate for Iraq veterans and a leading voice in the G.I. resistance movement.
