'We stand with Gaza!'
Stop the killing. End the blockade. Free Palestine.
Pan-Canadian weekend of action: November 23, 24, 25
Israel's bombing of Gaza is now turning into a full-scale war, with increasing air strikes and the renewed threat of a ground invasion. Stephen Harper and the Canadian government have given full backing to Israel's most recent attacks, just as they did for the last war on Gaza and Israel's war on Lebanon. Canada has also fully supported Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza, which has restricted food, medicine, and other necessities of life from entering Gaza since 2007. The renewed attacks are making an already dire situation worse.
Canada's position is a violation of international law and numerous United Nations conventions. With none of the main political parties clearly denouncing Israel's aggression, there is even more urgency for the social movements to stand in solidarity with Gaza.
In response, the Canadian Peace Alliance is calling for a pan-Canadian weekend of action and solidarity for Gaza to demand that Stephen Harper and the Canadian government immediately end its support for Israel's war. We are also calling on all opposition parties in Parliament to back the same demand: oppose Israel's war on Gaza.
Please join us and anti-war and Palestine solidarity allies on November 23, 24, or 25 for local solidarity actions across the country. Let us know what you have planned: email event details to cpa@web.ca.
Five steps to support Gaza:
1) Join a solidarity action in your community. If there isn't one, organize one. Distribute information leaflets at a busy intersection; hold a picket in front of your MP's office; host a film screening or discussion group about the situation in Gaza; or organize a demonstration. Every action helps. For tips on what to organize, email cpa@web.ca. For event listings please click here.
2) Email your MP. You don't have to send a long message. Just explain why you oppose the war in Gaza and why your MP should oppose it, too. You can find your MP's contact details here.
3) Write letters to the editor. Respond to any news articles about the war on Gaza, explaining why you oppose the war. Use the background information below. Remember, every letter makes a difference, even if it doesn't get published.
4) Make a donation to the Canadian Peace Alliance. We need to build a strong and united anti-war network right across the country, and we need your support to do so. Mail cheques or money orders to CPA, 427 Bloor St W, Box 13, Toronto ON M5S 1X7. Or donate online here.
5) Forward this email to everyone you know. Ask them to forward it along to their friends, too. Help us spread the word about how you can stand in solidarity with Gaza, and connect to a pan-Canadian anti-war network.
