Rally for Tunisia AND Egypt: Democracy, not dictatorships



Sat, Jan. 29, 1pm outside VPL central branch (Robson St. & Homer)



Join
 members of the Lower Mainland's Tunisian and Egyptian communities in a 
rally for democracy. Tunisia's dictator has fled, and the people 
continue to protest and demand justice. Meanwhile, the movement against 
dictatorship has spread to Egypt. On Jan. 25 tens of thousands mobilized
 in Cairo to call for the end of the Mubarak dictatorship. 



Let's show 
our support here in Vancouver for this growing movement...
