>> 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
