[van-announce] URGENT - Immigration Minister in Vancouver!

[Harsha]

(Immigration Minister Kenny is in Vancouver on Sun Feb 1. There is already
a vigil planned to protest his arrival in Vancouver by the War Resisters
Support Campaign. Would be great for folks to join and to also highlight
additional ongoing struggles for (im)migrant justice!)

Please forward widely...

EMERGENCY VIGIL FOR U.S. WAR RESISTERS
MINISTER KENNEY AT CHINESE NEW YEAR EVENT IN VANCOUVER

Sunday, February 1, 2009
6:00 pm
Floata Seafood Restaurant
400-180 Keefer Street - Chinatown

Meet outside to greet Minister Kenney and gala attendees, offering luck
for the new year and hope for war resisters.

As Minister Kenney and Stephen Harper continue to deport U.S. Iraq war
resisters and their families, we will be present to remind the Minister
that he must implement the June 3rd motion to let them stay, and stop the
deportations of our U.S. Iraq war resisters.

If you can, wear red for luck and in celebration of peace and
prosperity for Chinese New Year and the Year of Ox.
