Hello KW Peace!

A few things to bring to your attention regarding "No War with Iran" organizing...

1)
Thomas has organized a space to watch the Teach-In "No War With Iran" on  Saturday, January 11 from 2:30-6:00 pm at Conrad Grebel in Room 1300. There is free parking. You will need to bring your own snacks. All welcome. More information is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2533631296905008/ Please let him know if you are coming by indicating "Going" on Facebook. 

2)
Thomas and I are going to have an organizing meeting "No War With Iran" on Wednesday, January 15 from 5:00-6:30 pm at Chic Pea Pita &  Grill, 91 University Avenue E (corner with Weber St) and we encourage you to come. We have booked a table. It will be pay-your-own way for dinner or you can just have a drink. Chic Pea has vegetarian and vegan options: https://www.chicpeagrill.ca/  We are going to invite some of the Iranian-Canadian people who came to the rally on Saturday and want to have a space where we can get to know people better over a meal. Please let me know if you are going to come so I can ensure we have a big enough table. You can reply to tlorincz at dal.ca 

2)
I have created the Facebook event (I have added Thomas, Bob and Laura as co-hosts. If you'd like me to add you as a co-host on Facebook please let me know). If you have any edits for the listing, please also let me know. 

Global Day of Protest "No War On Iran!" 
Saturday, January 25
2:00-3:00 pm
Waterloo Public Square, 75 King St. 
We will have a peace rally in solidarity with the Global Day of Protest "No War On Iran!" on Saturday, January 25 from 2:00-3:00 p.m.  at the Waterloo Public Square. We do not want another war in the Middle East. We say "No War On Iran." We want US-NATO-Canadian soldiers and special forces out of Iraq. We need de-escalation and diplomacy. The Canadian government should urge the US to rejoin the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and end its crippling sanctions against Iran. We want peace with Iran and peace throughout the Middle East. The Waterloo action is organized by KW Peace, WR Nonviolence and the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace. Rallies are taking place at the same time across the country and around the world.

Thanks very much,
