The Palestine Solidarity Group invites you to talk by: 
ELIAS RASHMAWI on

THE FUTURE OF THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT 
The View from a Leading International Activist 

Saturday, May 24, 7:00 pm 
Fletcher Challenge Theatre, SFU Harbour Centre 
515 W. Hastings St. 

Come early as seats are very limited

Elias Rashmawi is the Vice-President of the International Campaign Against U.S. War on Iraq, which was one of the leading bodies in co-ordinating the unprecedented anti-war protests against the war on Iraq. Rashmawi is also a member of the steering committee of the ANSWER coalition in the United States, which organized the largest anti-war rallies in that country since the Vietnam war. Rashmawi will speak about the current U.S. occupation of Iraq and the future of the anti-war movement in North America and worldwide. 

A Palestinian born in the Gaza Strip, Rashmawi was issued a permanent deportation order by the state of Israel due to his activism against the Israeli occupation while studying in the United States. He is also a member of the Free Palestine Alliance.

StopWar.ca invites you to a: 

RALLY AGAINST WAR, OCCUPATION AND RACISM 

Saturday, June 7, 12:30 pm 
Holland Park in Surrey 
by King George Skytrain 

PLAN OF EVENTS: 
12:00 pm: Gather at Holland Park 
12:30 pm: March 
1:30 pm: Rally at Park at Gateway Skytrain Station

As the American presence in Iraq openly transforms itself into an imperial occupation, the 36-year old Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights continues, the daily Israeli aggression against Palestinians escalates, and immigrant communities in our country come under sustained attack, we will be gathering in Surrey to march and rally against war, occupation and racism.
