CAPITALIST LOOTERS OUT OF IRAQ! CANADIAN TROOPS OUT OF AFGHANISTAN! END THE OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE! CANADA OUT OF MISSILE "DEFENSE"! END THE ATTACKS ON REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS!!

On March 20, 2004, people in hundreds of cities around the world will take to the
streets for a GLOBAL DAY OF PROTEST on the One-Year Anniversary of the most
recent Iraq War. Echec a la guerre is mobilising for a mass demonstration against the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, against missile "defense", "anti-terror" measures and attacks on refugees and immigrants.

The JOIN THE RESISTANCE HERE AND THERE Block will be an anti-capitalist/anti-authoritarian contingent that will march together and support actions of creative resistance against local bases of the empire in this CHILD-FRIENDLY march.

The JOIN THE RESISTANCE HERE AND THERE Block joins millions who are actively supporting growing opposition to imperialist wars and occupations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. By calling for a block in the demonstration, we recognize that war and occupation are part of a larger colonialist project whose objective is nothing less than complete global domination. Our resistance is based on exposing the links between the process of global militarization and capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism, imperialism and racism. From fighting occupations to resisting the slashing of immigrant and refugee rights at home, we are part of a growing international movement against imperialism and capitalism.

MARCH 20 in MONTREAL: EXPOSE THE LOCAL BASES OF EMPIRE!

On March 20, we will march past local "targets of opportunity" -- marking Canadian participation in empire: weapon manufacturers and corporations profiting from the occupation and pillage of Iraq are just some of the pillars of the military industrial complex scattered through the streets of Montreal. Bring your pots and pans to support creative actions against corporate and military powers driving the war machine.

***PLEASE COME OUT to the final organizing meeting for the JOIN THE RESISTANCE HERE AND THERE block:

Sunday, 14 March, 3 p.m.
QPIRG Concordia 1420 Sherbrooke St., 4th floor

JOIN THE RESISTANCE HERE AND THERE IS ORGANIZED BY BLOCK THE EMPIRE MONTREAL

Block the Empire-Montreal is a campaign of direct action and creative resistance against war, the occupation of Iraq, the military expansion of the U.S. regime and the military industrial complex. Our resistance is based on exposing the links between the process of global militarization and capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism, imperialism and racism. Our actions seek to disrupt and directly impact the interests of those who participate, orchestrate and profit from imperialist wars, be they the companies who
profit from spilled blood, the outposts of the U.S. empire, the Canadian government and all others who are actively complicit in massacres. Through creative resistance and direct action, Block the Empire exposes and disrupts local participation in the systems which produce and depend on imperialist war -- right here in Montreal!
