INTERNATIONAL WEEKEND OF ACTION!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

>>>> MAWO All Day Conference
>>>> MAWO’WEEN 4th Anniversary Celebration

Join with this International Weekend of Action in
demanding an end to the criminal and unjust wars and
occupations that have caused the people of Iraq and
Afghanistan death, destruction, and increasing poverty.
This weekend MAWO was out supporting and organizing
for Vancouver’s antiwar march and rally, called in the
US and internationally by ANSWER Coalition. Following
this mobilization, MAWO is organizing its third conference
since January 2007 to discuss in depth the focus of this new
era of war and occupation, and how the antiwar movement
should respond. Participate in learning about and assessing
the gains and challenges of the growing movement of
resistance to attacks at home and abroad!

To wrap up this weekend of action, MAWO will be
celebrating it’s 4 year anniversary with music, food
and dancing to prepare for the next year of organizing
and mobilizing against war and occupation!
