>> During the week of world-wide actions marking the
5th Anniversary of the invasion of Iraq a cross-border
conference is being organized in Seattle. Sunday March
16th, MAWO will be joining with American antiwar activists
to host an antiwar conference focusing on the tragedy of
imperialist war and occupation around the world. We will also
be discussing the domestic attacks by the governments of
the US and  Canada against immigrants, refugees,
nonstatus people, and social justice and antiwar
activists. Another important element is a presentation
and discussion about building a broad and effective
antiwar movement.

The main speaker of this conference will be MAWO
co-chair and spokesperson Alison Bodine, who is
currently fighting a 2 year ban from Canada. Alison is
a US citizen and an antiwar activist who was
politically targeted by the government of Canada in
late 2007 and forced out of the country for two years
(for more information regarding her case see
http://alisonbodine.blogspot.com).

This international conference against war and
occupation is the first of its kind organized by MAWO in
collaboration with US antiwar groups. For information on
transportation email info at mawovancouver.org

Full program coming soon, check the MAWO website for
updates.
