RALLY IN SUPPORT OF US WAR RESISTERS
Saturday January 26 @ 1 PM
Bloor Street United Church, Toronto
300 Bloor Street West (Spadina or St. George subway)
Join communities across Canada on Saturday, January 26 to demand that Parliament pass a provision allowing US war resisters to remain in Canada and to call on the government to cease deportation hearings for resisters already in Canada.
With the recent Supreme Court decision to not hear appeals of resisters it's urgent that we raise political visibility now. The opposition parties should unite on this issue and do what's required to "Let Them Stay!"
Getting the attention of Parliament requires that all Canadians of conscience stand up together and be heard. At the rally we will write hundreds of urgent letters to our MPs.After the rally we plan to march to a nearby post office to deliver the letters and to send the message that our demand will be heard: Canadians of conscience support US War Resisters and demand that we "Let Them Stay!"
