Join MAWO for our bi-weekly organizing meeting to plan

returned from participating in the historic antiwar, anti-occupation events
during the NATO Summit in Chicago. This week’s meeting will focus on the
planning of a report back from these events and the upcoming MAWO rally and
petition drive this weekend. It will also include 45 minutes of news videos
from Chicago as well as the current and ongoing wars and occupations and the
resistance of millions of masses to imperialist aggression.
