Hello everyone again!
I'm so glad that Dwyer and Cathy can come out to help hold my signs this Monday at 6pm at the Waterloo Public Square. I will bring a letter to sign and some handouts. We will stand for a bit and then take a photo. We will wear masks and stand apart but together. Come & join us if you can!
I also wanted to let you also know that you can watch the fantastic, inspiring new documentary "Nae Pasaran" about Scottish workers who refused to work on engines at the Rolls Royce factory in Scotland in the 1970s in protest of the US-backed coup in Chile and the Pinochet dictatorship for free over the next 24 hours. You can watch the film "Nae Pasarán" anytime this weekend via https://vimeo.com/ondemand/nppeace (log into Vimeo first) and then use the code "People4Peace". People for Peace in London Ontario organized this free screening because they want conversion of the General Dynamics plant in the city that makes the tanks that go to Saudi Arabia.
