MAWO Antiwar Actions This Week... building to March 17 & beyond!

-THIS WEEK!-



Actions Building to the...



MARCH 17 - INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION*

called by A.N.S.W.E.R in US On the

Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq...



.........& BEYOND!



<~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~--~-~-~>



Five years after the occupation of Afghanistan and

four years after occupation of Iraq it is more and

more clear that the wars and occupations of

Afghanistan and Iraq were just a grand plan for the US

to dominate the Middle East. The objective of this

domination is for plundering and establishing

imperialist power in the region. Their plans for years

to come will be more exploitation, suppression of

these countries, and more theft of resources and

markets…



JOIN US THIS WEEK in building toward the March 17/18

International Weekend of Action marking the 4th

Anniversary of the US/UK Invasion of Iraq. Through

forums, petitions drives, pickets and campus events,

MAWO is also organizing and building for this

important weekend of antiwar action and beyond,

including the 2nd Emergency Picket Action in two

weeks, Thursday March 15th to demand "Canada/NATO out

of Afghanistan!" and the monthly Vancouver antiwar

protest rally, Saturday April 28th. (see full details

As part of the International Weekend of Action, MAWO

is organizing its 8th Antiwar Education conference

titled “The Struggle Against Imperialist Terrorism:

Confronting the Wars and Occupations After 9/11”
