EMERGENCY DEMO: 

Called By: Mobilization Against War and Occupation(MAWO)

 

US/UK OUT OF IRAQ!

 

END COLONIAL OCCUPATION!

 

SELF-DETERMINATION FOR IRAQI PEOPLE!

 

12NOON 

VANCOUVER ART GALLERY

SATURDAY APRIL 10th 

 

We are in a state of emergency. The US, UK and their allies are killing Iraqi people by dozens every couple of hours since last Sunday. Since Sunday by both official and unofficial accounts more than 400 people have been killed in this incredibly short time. 

 

The US is bombing. They are sending missiles and rockets. They are attacking on the ground by thousands of troops in Ramadi, Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Sadr, Adamiya, Kufa, Kut, Karabla, Amarah, Kirkuk, Mosul, Nasiriyah, Shula, and other cities and towns. 

 

In a classic demonstration of colonial practices, the U.S. is conducting a widespread reign of terror.

 

This is war ... and, along with the heroic resistance of the Iraqi people, we must fight back!

 

This is a call out to all activists and groups across the lower mainland.

 

In response to the horror and devastation of this illegal war and occupation, coalitons across Europe and the United States, including International ANSWER, have called for emergency demonstrations against the criminal militray machine that is killing 100's of Iraqi men, women and children.

 

We are responding to the ANSWER call for emergency protest and we would like all antiwar groups, all anti-occupation groups, all labour unions, and all progressive organizations and individuals to participate in this critical protest against the US/UK massacre of Iraqi people. 

 

We would like to emphasize that even though called by Mobilization Aginst War and Occupation (MAWO), the call is by no means the ownership of MAWO. This must be a joint effort.

 

We ask everyone to come, Saturday April 10th, 12noon at the Vancouver Art Gallery, to show that in the wake of imperialist assaults, the antiwar movement will not stand aside and be silent. 

 

For more information, for coordination and so we can organize this demonstration together, call 778-891-1470 or 604-787-5893.

 

Please dont forget: April 10th, SATURDAY 12noon, Art Gallery.

 

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY

Stopwar.ca coalition supports MAWO's call for rally against massacre of people of Iraq by United States: 



StopWar.ca has endorsed the international call for emergency mobilizations 
against the occupation of Iraq, responding to the escalating violence and 
repression, and threat of additional troop deployments.  StopWar.ca invites 
you to join us on: 

Friday, April 16 
4p.m. 
U.S. Consulate (W.Pender at Thurlow) 
Organized by StopWar.ca in solidarity with the Palestine Community Centre 



We also encourage you to attend tomorrow's rally organized by 
Mobilization Against War and Occupation 
Saturday, April 10 
12 Noon 
Vancouver Art Gallery. 


On March 20th, 20000-plus in Vancouver and millions around the world marched 
to say that the world still says no to war and occupation.  Recent events only 
further confirm that the anti-war movement was right, and that occupation is 
not liberation.
