FRIDAY June 28

5pm

Vancouver Art Gallery

(Robson at Howe Street)

Downtown Vancouver, Canada



This event will take place on the traditional and unceded territories of the Tsleil-Waututh (səl̓ilwətaɁɬ), the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), and the Squamish (Skwxwú7mesh) Coast Salish Nations.



U.S. President Trump and his administration continue to beat the drums of war against Iran. Amid harsh sanctions President Trump has announced that the U.S. government will be sending 1,000 more troops to the Middle East, adding to the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers already headed towards Iran. On June 24 President Trump also announced more sanctions against Iran.



The U.S.-backed Saudi Arabia bombing and blockade on Yemen also rages on. The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) reported in June that since 2015 nearly 100,000 people have been killed, while 12 million more people that are living on the edge of starvation. The governments of the U.S. and Canada and their allies continue to arm Saudi Arabia with the most brutal weapons of war.



During these dangerous and precarious times, when President Trump and the U.S. government are telling more and more lies to justify more and more war, it is critical that peace-loving people here in Vancouver and around the world mobilize to demand:



NO WAR ON IRAN!

U.S./Canada/NATO Hands Off Yemen, Venezuela, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya & North Korea!

Free Julian Assange & Chelsea Manning!

Self-Determination for All Oppressed Nations!

Money for Healthcare, Housing & Education - Not for War & Occupation!
