Saudi Arabia: Mass Movement for Democracy and Independence!
***********************************************

TUESDAY July 24
7pm
Joe's Cafe [In Large North Hall]
1150 Commercial Dr. at William St

In the past two weeks a new wave of protests against the U.S.-backed Monarchy in Saudi Arabia has begun, sparked by the July 8th shooting and arrest of a prominent cleric and the killing of protestors by the repressive Saudi regime. 

Join MAWO to discuss the questions:
>> What are the demands of people protesting in the streets of Saudi Arabia?
>> Why are the governments of the U.S. and Canada silent about the growing struggle of Saudi Arabians for democracy and independence?
>> What is the significance of the protests in Saudi Arabia for the antiwar movement in Canada?

Speakers:
~ Nita Palmer, author of the book “War and Occupation in Afghanistan: Which Way Forward” published by Battle of Ideas Press, as well as an editorial board member of the Fire This Time Newspaper. 
~ Aaron Mercredi, Indigenous activist and member of editorial board of Fire This Time Newspaper.
