U.S. Hands Off North Korea!
>>> Antiwar actions during the “Vancouver Group” meeting of U.S. and Canada Foreign Ministers
January 15 & 16, 2018

(((( 1 )))) MAWO Forum with Prof. Michel Chossudovsky & Ret. Army Colonel Ann Wright
(((( 2 )))) Schedule of Other Antiwar Events on January 15 & 16

On January 16 U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson and the Foreign Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, will be co-hosting a meeting of what they are calling the “Vancouver Group,” to “advance the pressure campaign against North Korea.”

It is clear this meeting will not discuss U.S.-led aggression, threats, and genocidal sanctions against North Korea. Rather, it has been called to further attempt to isolate and demonize North Korea, and to bolster U.S. and imperialist interests in the region.

On January 15 and 16 there is also an international women’s delegation coming to Vancouver and organizing actions as the Vancouver Women’s Forum on Peace and Security in the Korean Peninsula. This delegation includes women from Women Cross DMZ, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, and Nobel Women's Initiative, including retired U.S. Army Colonel and international leader in the antiwar movement, Ann Wright.  Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) welcomes this important delegation to Vancouver and we look forward to uniting with them on the streets against U.S. and Canadian aggression on North Korea!

MAWO encourages our supporters to attend all of the antiwar actions below. We must unite to let the war-mongers Tillerson and Freeland know that they are not welcome in Vancouver! No to sanctions and war on North Korea!
