[Bloquez l'empire!] anti-imperialist dinner (with guests from Palestine and Haiti)

[aaron at resist.ca]

Hi folks,
As many of you know, two wonderful women, Zleikha Muhtaseb from Palestine
and Ginette Appollon from Haiti, will be in Montreal later this week as
part of International Women's Day.

Freda Guttman and myself are planning a potluck dinner with Zleikha and
Ginette on Sunday, March 5th, with the goal being to invite solidarity
activists and organizations to meet them, share stories, exchange, etc. 
there isn't much time to plan this, so it would be an informal yet very
pleasant event.

Zleikha and Ginette both do incredible organizing work at home.  Zleikha
lives in Hebron, where she founded a social center for children to deal
with the psychological effects that the Israeli occupation has on them. 
Ginette lives in Port au Prince.  She is a nurse, an AIDS activist, and
the head of the Women's Committee of the Hatian Federation of Workers.

The dinner will almost definitely be at the Griffintown Coop, 242 Young,
on Sunday, March 5th.

***We do need help with this event, mostly in terms of getting the word
out.  I should have a proper email callout, in english and french, ready
by tomorrow.  If you can help to make calls, please let me know.

In solidarity,
Aaron Lakoff
