((( 2 ))) MAWO MONTHLY ANTIWAR RALLY & PETITION CAMPAIGN

STOP THE WARS!
END THE OCCUPATIONS!
SELF-DETERMINATION FOR ALL OPPRESSED NATIONS!

SATURDAY August 22
2:00pm
Vancouver Art Gallery
Robson Street at Howe Street
Downtown Vancouver, Canada

Hands Off Syria!
Stop Saudi/US War on Yemen!
Stop Bombing Yemen!
Join MAWO to Organize Against War & Occupation!

On August 3rd, 2015 the Associated Press released an article in which it provided information from a new poll taken in Syria and Iraq. The Airwars poll showed that in the past year alone 459 innocent civilians have been killed by US air strikes. This includes the deaths of 64 civilians, 31 of which were children from a US-led coalition air strike on the village of Bir Mahli, Syria on May 4th.

Meanwhile in Yemen, US-backed Saudi airstrikes continue to destroy the ancient and beautiful cities and landscapes of that country as Saudi Arabia threatens to send more troops and bombs to continue its campaign of killing Yemeni people.

As threats to human life around the world continue at the hands of the imperialist war makers, Vancouver antiwar coalition Mobilization Against War & Occupation (MAWO) continues to educate, organize and mobilize against war and for peace.
