[KWPeace-groups] Stop Canada's Saudi Arms Deal: Yemen Can't Wait

[Simon Daley]

Hello KW Peace,

"Stop Canada's Saudi Arms Deal: Yemen Can't Wait" outside of MP Bardish
Chagger's office in Waterloo this Thursday at 1pm. It is part of a national
day of action. The details are here:

We will be practicing social distancing. I ask that everyone wear a mask
and maintain a distance of 6 ft, especially when speaking.

The National Day of Action is being organized by Labour Against the Arms
Trade, Amnesty International, Women's International League for Peace &
Freedom, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, People for Peace, and Council
of Canadians.

(360-100 Regina St. South, Waterloo) at 1pm on Thursday. Please let me know
<simon.joseph.daley at gmail.com> if you have any access needs.

3. I will be preparing a sign saying "War is Not Essential:
#StopArmingSaudi", will take or ask someone to take photos and videos, and
will be attempting to acquire disposable masks to offer to anyone who shows
up without one. If anyone has art skills, social media savvy, or mask
hookups they feel led to share, let me know <simon.joseph.daley at gmail.com>!
