1>>> URGENT Picket Action: "Canada/NATO Out of
Afghanistan Now!"
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
THURSDAY MAY 31, 2007
4:00PM-5:00PM
@ the Canadian Armed Forces Recruitment Centre (1070 W
Georgia St – on Georgia St & Thurlow St, downtown
Vancouver)
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Friday May 25th, 2007 marked the death of the 55th
Canadian soldier in the ongoing Canada/US/NATO
occupation of Afghanistan, showing once again the
brutality of Canada's ongoing war and occupation
against Afghan people and that Canada is at war with
the people of Afghanistan. Despite Stephen Harper's
recent visit to Afghanistan where he claimed
"humanitarianism" is why Canadian forces are there,
Canada/NATO occupation forces have led deadly
airstrikes in the last 3 weeks that have killed
hundreds of Afghan civilians. 

Join us at our monthly picket action to protest the
Canada/NATO joint occupation and attack on people of
Afghanistan and to demand an immediate end to the
occupation.

CANADA/NATO OUT OF AFGHANISTAN! BRING THE TROOPS HOME
NOW! CALL FOR AN
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO CANADA'S WAR DRIVE IN
AFGHANISTAN!

Join us at MAWO's 4th community forum on the US and EU
mounting pressure for a direct military attack on
Iran. Why is Iran so important to US, EU and
imperialist interests in the Middle East? What is at
stake with an expansion of war and occupation to Iran?
Join us to discuss these and more questions as well as
what people in Vancouver can do against attack on the
people of Iran. 

Co- organized with the Iranian Committee Against War.

*Reminder* Call to Action by the Iranian Committee
Against War –Vancouver:

In the case that the US starts bombing and marching in
Iran, come to the US consulate on the day of attack at
4pm and for the next day at the same time, and daily
for the first week. This Emergency Call to Action is
also endorsed and supported by MAWO.
