SPEAKERS
Mostafa Henaway (Solidarity Across Borders) will look at the big picture of how the influence of war profiteers connects to wars of aggression and increased militarism in our society.
Rev. Bill Baldwin (Christian Peacemaker Team) has made several trips to Hebron in Palestine and can provide first hand information on the impact of the arms trade in troubled areas of the world.
Richard Sanders (Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade - COAT) led a campaign, starting in 1988, to expose and oppose ARMX (the country's largest weapons bazaar then located at Lansdowne Park). COAT's campaign resulted in a City of Ottawa bylaw forcing all military trade shows off municipal property. He will discuss the campaign.
Free coffee and cookies (homemade with love) will be served.
