“Why is Canada Banning Antiwar Activists?  The Case
of Alison Bodine”

>>>TUESDAY November 13th
6:30pm
SFU Harbor Center (515 W. Hastings)

Alison Bodine, MAWO co-chair and politically targeted antiwar and social justice activist was arrested by Canada Border Services Agency over 2 months ago, and now faces a 2 year ban from Canada. Join the Alison Bodine Defence Committee in discussing Alison’s case along with other recent cases to question why Canada is targeting and banning antiwar activists at this time. The Defence Committee will also discuss the legal and political campaigns to have the ruling overturned, and how we must continue the struggle in defence of our human and democratic rights to organize and protest against war and for social justice!
