>>>UPDATE:
Canadian Federation of Students Writes Second Letter
of Support for Alison Bodine's Case!

At the Semi-Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Federation of
Students (CFS) May 23-24, the Alison Bodine Defence Committee gained
another victory in the fight to have the two-year ban from Canada
against Alison Bodine lifted. The CFS, with a membership of over half
a million students in Canada from over 80 colleges and universities,
passed a resolution in favour of writing a second letter to
Citizenship and Immigration Minister Diane Finley. In this important
letter the CFS will demand that the 2-year ban on Alison Bodine be
lifted immediately!

>>> URGENT ACTION:
JUDICIAL REVIEW and RALLY TO LIFT THE BAN!
Thursday, June 12, 2008 @ 8:45am

In March 2008, Alison and her lawyer received notice that the Federal
Appeals Court of Canada had granted a judicial review in Alison's
case, allowing for a chance to appeal her unjust ban from Canada. With
this positive partial victory, the Alison Bodine Defence Committee has
stepped up the campaign to have the two-year ban lifted, and is
gathering thousands of petition signatures in support of Alison's
case.

The Alison Bodine Defence Committee is calling on all those concerned
about defending human and democratic rights of social justice
activists, immigrants, refugees and non-status people, to join ABDC in
an important rally before the judicial review. ABDC organizers and
supporters will be gathering outside the Federal Court of Canada
building in Vancouver for a rally to lift the ban at 8:45am.
