As part of the GLOBAL WEEK OF ACTION against war and occupation, 
Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) is organizing an all-day 
antiwar anti occupation conference. The conference will open up in-depth 
analysis, dialogue, and debate on the imperialist initiatives in the 
occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Haiti, and Indigenous Nations 
in Canada, and in the threats of intervention toward Iran, Cuba, and Africa. 
In addition, the conference will critically examine our program thus far in 
confronting imperialism and building an effective antiwar movement.
