Join MAWO to organize against war & occupation!

Over the last month the people of Palestine have intensified their protest and resistance to the Israeli occupation. They have been marching in tens of thousands throughout all of Palestine in the face of increased Israeli attacks and the constant violence, harassment and humiliation caused by the occupation, already 42 Palestinians have been killed. From Vancouver, we join the international outcry demanding an end to the occupation and self-determination for Palestine. 

The crisis of refugees fleeing from the Middle East and Africa to Europe has also continued, bringing into focus the harsh and tragic result of over 14 years of the new era of war and occupation. Countries such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Palestine and Yemen which have been the target of imperialist war, occupation and foreign intervention are now so dangerous and unlivable that their people have no other choice but to risk their lives and become refugees.

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. Join us on the streets on Saturday, October 24 to demand:
Israel Hands Off Palestine! End the Occupation Now!
Open the Borders: Stop War and Occupation, Not Refugees! 
U.S. & Canada Hands Off Syria!
No New U.S. War on Iraq!
Stop Saudi/US War on Yemen! Stop Bombing Yemen!
U.S. and All Imperialists Out of Afghanistan Now!
No to Islamophobia!
Repeal Inhuman and Repressive Bill C-51!
U.S./EU/NATO/Canada: Hands Off Ukraine!
U.S. Hands Off Venezuela!
Lift All Sanctions Against Iran!
End the Blockade of Cuba!
Free Private Manning, Soldier of Humanity!
No to U.S. Drones!
U.S. Hands Off North Africa and the Middle East!
Self-Determination for Indigenous Nations and All Oppressed Nations!
Money for Jobs, Housing, Healthcare and Education, Not For War and Occupation!
