The live event will feature short presentations from brilliant organizations highlighting how they are helping to build a more just Canadian foreign policy. We will also hear from John Clarke, El Jones & Avi Lewis on the importance of internationalism & activism!
The date marks the anniversary of Canada’s defeat in its bid for a seat on the UN Security Council. Over the past year there has been growth in critical foreign policy discussion & activism. But, much more is required to win fundamental change. “International Solidarity Now!” is a gathering of antiwar, mining justice & international solidarity organizations that aims to connect, strengthen and amplify our collective efforts. Join us & learn about Canada's movement for a foreign policy based on peace & human rights. Open to the public!
