Join the “Block the Empire! Anti-Imperialist Contingent” Part of a worldwide day of action against the occupation of Iraq.
BUSH OUT OF BAGHDAD! CANADA OUT OF KANDAHAR!
SATURDAY, MARCH 17 at NOON Norman Bethune Park Guy and de Maisonneuve (metro Guy-Concordia)
March 2007 marks the fourth anniversary of the brutal invasion and occupation of Iraq … George Bush is increasing -- despite worldwide opposition and outrage -- the number of American troops in Iraq, meaning more death and devastation for Iraqi civilians … The so-called "War on Terror" expands, with the recent bombardment and occupation of Somalia, and continued torture and abuse at American-run concentration camps at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and at secret prisons all over the world. Meanwhile the Canadian government continues to support US-led imperialism in the Middle East with thousands of troops in Afghanistan, and Stephen Harper describing the deaths of civilians in Lebanon and Palestine as "measured and justified." In opposition to war, occupation and imperialism, this coming Saturday, March 17, 2007 we take to the streets to demand: BUSH OUT OF BAGHDAD! CANADA OUT OF KANDAHAR!
A child-friendly march. Bring your kids! We begin marching at 12:30pm (sharp) to join other anti-war marches in Montreal.
OCCUPATION ANYWHERE, RESISTANCE EVERYWHERE! We are denouncing war and occupation, and supporting grassroots resistance and self-determination: Iraq … Afghanistan … Palestine ... Lebanon ... Iran ... Somalia …Bolivia ... ... Mapuche territory ... Oaxaca …Chiapas ... Philippines ... Haiti ... Six Nations ... Kahnawake ...Kanehsatake ... Nitassinan ... Turtle Island ... everywhere!
