WHO IS NOWAR/PAIX?

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/ Pacte contre l’agression, l’intolérance et la xénophobie, 
(NOWAR/PAIX).

This network 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 racism and 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.
