Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.

* Warner Naziel and Mel Bazil are part of the grassroots Lhe Lin Liyin
Wet'suwet'en resistance against the Enbridge Pipeline and Tar Sands

refineries, tankers and carbon markets. They organize and promote
solidarity against all forms of colonization, environmental racism,
violence against women, and social breakdown of communities.

* Amal Rana is a member of the South Asian Network for Secularism and
Democracy and Pakistan Action Network. She was born in Saudi Arabia where
her parents moved as migrant workers from Pakistan. She will be speaking
about the recent uprisings in Pakistan, from workers' rights and movements
demanding an end to the war and occupation of Afghanistan and Pakistan to
solidarity efforts outside Pakistan.

* Ivan Drury is an elected member of the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood
Council board of directors and a researcher-organizer with the Carnegie
Community Action Project. His community organizing is local in practice
but is part of an international struggle against gentrification and all
other economic, political, cultural, and violent processes that displace
and oppress people where they live.

* Dawn Paley is a journalist and researcher who organizes with the
Vancouver   Media Co-op and has reported from throughout Latin America,
most  recently from northeast Mexico.
