A PUBLIC PROTEST OF BILL C-36
Where: York and Sussex, Ottawa
When: 12:00 to 13:30, Saturday, October 27
Bring your own signs and gags (something thrust into the mouth to

Organized by NOWAR (Network to Oppose War and Terrorism) which
opposes terrorism, including state terrorism and the bombing of
Afghanistan, racism, and the infringement of civil liberties.
PASS THIS MESSAGE ON
WHO IS NOWAR?
In response to the horrific events of September 11, the resulting
declarations of war by the U.S. government and its military allies,
the attack on civil liberties and the right to dissent, and the ugly
racist and xenophobic attacks on innocent people of colour across
North America, a group of concerned Ottawa-area citizens has
recently formed the Network to Oppose War and Racism (NOWAR).
This coalition has three goals:
1) to oppose terrorism in all its forms, the U.S. call to war, and
Canada's participation therein;
2) to oppose the racist backlash against people of colour, including
attacks on immigrant and refugee rights;
3) to oppose the erosion of civil liberties in the name of national security.
Our network, which is made up of a diversity of members from within
the community, seeks to build a broad-based coalition of
organizations and
individuals within the Ottawa region to advance the above goals by
organizing events and increasing public awareness in the coming weeks
and months.
