[antiwar-van] MAWO Antiwar Actions This Week...building to March 17 & beyond!

[Kira Koshelanyk]

-THIS WEEK!-

Actions Building to the...

MARCH 17 - INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION*
called by A.N.S.W.E.R in US On the
Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq...

.........& BEYOND!

<~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~--~-~-~>

Five years after the occupation of Afghanistan and
four years after occupation of Iraq it is more and
more clear that the wars and occupations of
Afghanistan and Iraq were just a grand plan for the US
to dominate the Middle East. The objective of this
domination is for plundering and establishing
imperialist power in the region. Their plans for years
to come will be more exploitation, suppression of
these countries, and more theft of resources and
markets…

JOIN US THIS WEEK in building toward the March 17/18
International Weekend of Action marking the 4th
Anniversary of the US/UK Invasion of Iraq. Through
forums, petitions drives, pickets and campus events,
MAWO is also organizing and building for this
important weekend of antiwar action and beyond,
including the 2nd Emergency Picket Action in two
weeks, Thursday March 15th to demand "Canada/NATO out
of Afghanistan!" and the monthly Vancouver antiwar
protest rally, Saturday April 28th. (see full details

As part of the International Weekend of Action, MAWO
is organizing its 8th Antiwar Education conference
