 > "WAR ON TERROR" POPULAR EDUCATION SERIES KICKS OFF
 > IN MONTREAL
 >
 > Montreal, 2 February 2005--Today, five grassroots
 > groups are launching a
 > month of community workshops aimed at deepening the
 > understanding of what is
 > happening around the world - and here in Canada -
 > under the guise of the
 > "war on terror".
 >
 > The workshops have been organised by groups which
 > have been involved in
 > direct solidarity and accompaniment projects in
 > Colombia, Iraq, Palestine,
 > and Turtle Island (that is, colonial North America)
 > as well as refugee and
 > immigrant communities in Quebec and Canada. From
 > elections in Iraq, Canadian
 > police in Haiti and war-profiteers in Colombia, to
 > security certificates and
 > elections in Kanehsatake here at home, the workshops
 > will offer an
 > opportunity to discuss critical aspects of events
 > unfolding in our turbulent
 > times. Taking place in different neighbourhoods in
 > Montreal, the series aims
 > to open more space at the community level for
 > developing better strategies
 > to understand, survive and challenge the war of
 > terror and the projects of
 > economic and political domination which underpin it.
 >
 >
 > The series will culminate on 17 March with a panel
 > discussion, "Unmasking
 > Canada in the War of Terror", to provide a global
 > perspective on the
 > different issues raised in the
 > individual workshops.
 >
 > The series builds towards the international day
 > against the occupation of
 > Iraq and against racism on 19/20 March, which stands
 > as a symbol of global
 > dissent to the "war on terror".

 > International Solidarity Movement (ISM-Montreal).
 > The ISM is a
 > Palestinian-led group of Palestinians and
 > internationals that are working to
 > raise awareness of the struggle for Palestinian
 > freedom and
 > an end to Israeli occupation. The ISM uses
 > nonviolent, direct-action
 > methods of resistance to confront and challenge
 > illegal Israeli occupation
 > forces and policies while also recognizing the
 > Palestinian right to resist
 > Israeli violence and occupation via legitimate armed
 > struggle.
 > ISM-Montreal further believes in the important links
 > between anti-colonial
 > struggles in Palestine and the struggle of
 > indigenous peoples inside the
 > Canadian state. We acknowledge that we ourselves
 > live on stolen land, and
 > are committed to engaging in solidarity work with
 > indigenous communities
 > on Turtle Island, while also raising awareness about
 > the Palestinian
 > struggle for self-determination. e-mail:

 > Iraqis struggling against the occupation; strengthen
 > the mobilisation
 > against economic and military domination and
 > anti-war work in Quebec and

 > No One Is Illegal - Montreal. The No One Is Illegal
 > campaign of Montreal is
 > part of a worldwide movement for the
 > self-determination of migrants,
 > refugees and indigenous peoples.
 > We recognize that struggles for self-determination,
 > and for free movement
 > against colonial exploitation, are led by the
 > communities who fight on the
 > frontlines. Our campaign lends tangible support to
 > these struggles in our
 > capacity as allies. Our campaign also asserts a
 > clear link between
 > capitalist globalization and the displacement of
 > peoples from the majority
 > world. We confront a colonial system built on the
 > dispossession and
 > genocide of indigenous peoples and racist
 > anti-immigration laws. We
 > maintain that there are no illegal human beings,
 > only illegitimate
 > governments and states. We seek to contribute to a
 > global movement of
 > justice and dignity, building links between
 > communities of resistance
