[van-announce] BUILDING RESISTANCE TO DISPLACEMENT AND OCCUPATION

[announcements at resist.ca]

BUILDING RESISTANCE TO DISPLACEMENT AND OCCUPATION

Where:
Palestine Center 1874 Kingsway (@ Victoria)

When:
Friday, 27th of February 2004 from 6:45 PM until approximately 9:00 PM

Cost: FREE

This event is focused on the impacts of the War at Home and the War Abroad. The 
so-called war on terrorism has meant state terrorism against populations 
throughout the global South, including Afghanistan, Palestine and Iraq, 
while around the globe and at home, movements for social justice assert 
their dignity through diverse struggles - from the Philippines to 
Colombia; from the jungles of Chiapas to the so-called 
"reserves" of Turtle Island. 

This event will highlight the links between communities displaced from the 
South due to imperialist policies of the G8 such as war and neo-liberal 
development, and the criminalization they face as immigrant and refugee 
communities. This event also asserts and draws inspiration from the 
struggles for sovereignty of indigenous peoples and nations who are the 
original victims of dispossession on this land.

* Stefan Christoff: activist and writer with No One is Illegal-Montreal 
& International Solidarity Movement. Stefan is involved in the 
Coalition to Stop the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees and recently 
returned from refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan.

* Tamineh: Coordinator of Iranian Federation of Refugees, an extremely 
active organization fighting for refugee rights & extremely involved 
in the fight against the deportation of Kobra and Hassan last year

* Victor Porter: member of MOSAIC and Latinos in Action 

* MEMBER OF NATIVE YOUTH MOVEMENT (TBC)
