On November 17th, 2007 the Immigration & Refugee Board of Canada exclusion order and 2-year ban of antiwar activist Alison Bodine will come into effect. The Alison Bodine Defence Committee (ABDC) is continuing to organize
legally and politically to stop this removal and overturn the decision. Join us Tuesday for this urgent and important
public forum to discuss the government of Canada's current stage of attacks on antiwar and social justice activists.
What is next to respond and fight back?

In addition to the ban against Alison Bodine, Ann Wright, a Code Pink Women for Peace organizer and former US
Army Colonel who was twice denied entry to Canada based on her history of involvement in activism and civil disobedience against the war in Iraq has now been handed a 1-year ban imposed against her by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Why is Canada pursuing this campaign of initimidation against social justice and antiwar activists?
Why is Canada attempting to stifle cross-border antiwar organizing?

*URGENT* WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW MORE THAN EVER!
