Our Mission

Since 1998, EPIC: Promoting a Free & Secure Iraq has worked to improve human rights and humanitarian conditions in Iraq.

Today, EPIC works through educational programs and advocacy initiatives to stabilize Iraq by supporting Iraqi efforts to advance peace and development on the ground.

Iraqis have long suffered under repression, conflict and international isolation. Now they are enduring escalating political violence, lawlessness, social upheaval, and the loss of jobs and homes. More than five years after the arrival of U.S. and coalition forces, the war in Iraq has become the deadliest conflict in the 21st Century.

EPIC works to bring an end to the violence.

Through national media and direct advocacy, we are reaching public officials and their constituents throughout the United States, increasing pressure on Washington to find a better way forward in Iraq and ensuring that the needs and concerns of the Iraqi people remain at the center of the debate.

EPIC also works to educate concerned citizens about organizations and community-based initiatives in Iraq that are bringing desperately needed relief and development to tens of millions of people affected by the war.
