This event is one of many, which will take place around the world on March 20, 2004. It will mirror the day last year on Feb. 15 when 10 million people in 600 cities around the world demonstrated against the impending U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, in the largest protest for peace in world history. Similar events will take place in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Korea, Thailand, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,Scotland, Spanish state, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, United States and across Canada. We need your voice. In a time of empire-building and the destruction of democratic process, Canada needs to become a strong, independent voice for peace, democracy, social and environmental justice. Especially as we head towards an election, we have to let our leaders know that Canadians want our country to take a lead in promoting peaceful resolution of conflict. Canada needs to help build the conditions for peace and to demonstrate support for multi-lateralism and international law. We need to protect the rights of immigrants and refugees and we want a foreign and defence policy that builds global security. We oppose the weaponization of space -- Canada should not become involved in any ballistic missile defence program. The world has not forgotten Iraq or the illegal occupation and still says no to war. Please join with us as Halifax says no to war, too. Please help us by attending the PEACE MARCH, by spreading the word about the march and by encouraging others to attend as well. You can contact us at hfxpeace@chebucto.ca or check our website at hfxpeace.chebucto.org. Color and black and white posters are available in pdf format for downloading at the website at: http://hfxpeace.chebucto.org/ae/activismevents.htm We hope to see you on March 20th. The Halifax Peace Coalition (3) Don't forget to mark your calendars in advance for the critical mass bike ride on Friday, March 26 at 5:15 pm on the corner of Bell Rd. and Trollope St. (Nova Scotia Community College).
