Iraq Freedom Congress Explained

The Iraq Freedom Congress (or Iraqi Freedom Congress, IFC) is a libertarian socialist, progressive, democratic, and secularist political party.[1] The Congress was formed in March 2005 by labor groups, women's groups, students, and neighborhood groups concerned about sectarian violence, Ba'athism, Islamism, and nationalism, as well as the post-war occupation.[2]

The Congress has been active in protests, most recently regarding post-occupation security and checkpoint policy.[3]
