She was a leading figure in putting together the Canada wide tour of Malaila Joya (an outspoken Afghan critic of the war in Afghanistan and member of the Afghan parliament) which was a huge success drawing hundreds to the numerous events across the lower mainland. She has been active in stopwar since its creation and is an avid supporter of social justice and human rights. 
   
  Barry Sheppard: Barry was active in the antiwar movement in the US during the 60s and 70s. He was in Vietnam during the war to interview GI’s and was in Iran during the Iranian revolution that threw out American imperialism. He was also one of the first western journalists to interview the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Barry continues his work as an author and activist based in San Francisco, and is a regular contributor to Green Left Weekly. He was a prominent leader in the US Socialist Workers Party for many years, and left that organization in 1988. One of his written works is a recently-published book on his decades of experience as an activist, called The Party: A Political Memoir.
