Farah Marie Mokhtareizadeh is a Catholic activist 
of Irish-Iranian background currently co-coordinating
Voices for Creative Nonviolence (Voices), a Chicago-based campaign
focused on ending the economic and political siege of Iraq through
story telling, campaigns, delegations and teach-ins. Voices also works
as a bridge to build diverse movements interested in alternative
economic and social systems that would not perpetuate warfare. Farah
studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of
Pennsylvania and lived in and worked with various radical, faith-based
communities, including New Jerusalem, a recovery community in North
Philly, The Simple Way, and the Camden House. Farah has made various
trips toIraq, Jordan, Northern Ireland and the West Bank, and has
traveled extensively in the U.S. and Europe speaking about her
experiences in urban North America and the Middle East. Being
artistically inclined, Farah very much enjoys painting, dancing, and
the theatre from time to time.
