Tadamon! is organizing a grassroots fundraising effort to coincide with 
Sunday's Montreal demonstration in solidarity with Lebanon and Palestine. 
Tadamon! members will be collecting funds for the Sanayeh Relief Center during 
the march. Sanayeh Relief Centre is an initiative of Samidoun, a Beirut-based, 
grassroots coalition born out of the July 2006 attack on Lebanon.

The Sanayeh Relief Center is composed of groups who were on the ground on the 
first day of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon. They are coordinating among 
humanitarian aid and the displacement centers in Beirut, providing essential 
information, and organizing political action against the complicity of the 
"international community".

At the upcoming Montreal demonstration in solidarity with Lebanon and 
Palestine, representatives of Tadamon! will be collecting funds for the Sanayeh 
Relief Center in well-marked red boxes. 100% of funds collected will go to the 
Sanayeh Relief Center, which uses donations for its work with the displaced 
people of Lebanon.

Under the continuing Israeli assault on Lebanon, Tadamon! Montreal is 
continuing to develop and maintain connections with grassroots, independent 
relief & political initiatives directly rooted in Lebanon's affected 
communities.
