co-organized with the Iranian Community Against War
(ICAW)
http://icaw.blogspot.com
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
NO WAR ON IRAN!
NO SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN!
SELF-DETERMINATION FOR IRANIAN PEOPLE!
US HANDS OFF IRAN!

Canada/NATO Out of Afghanistan!
US/UK Out of Iraq!
Israel Hands Off Palestine!
Self-Determination for Indigenous Nations in Canada!
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
2pm
Vancouver Art Gallery
Robson Street @ Howe Street

The US war drive is looking to expand and we are
witnessing the continuing and escalating threats of
attack against Iran. This is through propaganda and
slander campaigns, a military buildup in the Persian
Gulf, and new sanctions attacking the Iranian Defence
Ministry, the Revolutionary Guards, and major Iranian
banks. MAWO and ICAW are organizing this rally
together as part of a building campaign to defend Iran
against possible US attack and furthered sanctions. We
must continue to organize against these threats of
impending war and demanding NO WAR ON IRAN!
