[antiwar-van] In Memory of Jack Layton

In Memory of Jack Layton

 

In the early morning of August 22nd, 2011,
federal leader of the New Democratic Party, Jack Layton, lost his battle with
cancer. Jack Layton had a long life in progressive politics, in which he
contributed with his strong leadership to his party's progress and success. Mr.
Layton's contributions were also strongly felt in various progressive and
social justice causes in Canada.

 

When our own co-chair, Alison Bodine, who
is an American citizen, was politically targeted by the Canadian Border
Services Agency in the fall of 2007, Jack Layton gave Alison’s case support to
fight for her democratic and human rights.

 

Mobilization Against War and Occupation
offers our sincere condolences to both Jack Layton's family, and to all NDP
members.
