Speakers:

Ali Yerevani, political editor Fire This Time newspaper

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 build-up in the Persian
Gulf, and new sanctions attacking the Iranian Defense
Ministry, the Revolutionary Guards, and major Iranian
banks. MAWO and ICAW are organizing this rally and
conference 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!

Morteza Gorgzadeh from Toronto and Ali Yerevani from
Vancouver are long-time Iranian social justice
Campaigners and both were active participants in the
1979 Iranian revolution.
