capitalism and global apartheid
A Presentation by Montreal based organizer, Jaggi Singh
Thursday Feb 4th, 7pm - 9pm
Room 105 Weldon Law Building (6061 University avenue)
Free coffee, tea and snacks
Free event
Description
A multi-media presentation. Using research and lived experiences, this presentation will raise questions about all border controls & nation-states; and make the case that all human beings have the autonomous right to migrate, resist displacement and return home. The big picture
is one of global apartheid, and with the economic crisis deeply set and the G8/G20 working to keep unequal relations intact, the terrain of struggle grows rougher.

2. Community Potluck in Solidarity with the Chaudhry Family
Friday February 5
6:30-8:30pm
Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, 2096 Windsor Street
Come meet the Chaudhry family at this community potluck. Sample some of the family's delicious food (they have a business plan for opening a Halal restaurant in Halifax) and learn about their case.
The Chaudhrys are a family of five living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Well-established members of the broader community, they are facing an imminent deportation order to Pakistan, where they face violence, or death. We need to collect support letters from as many community members as possible to improve their chances of winning an application to stay on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds. Letter writing materials will be made available at the event.
All welcome, family friendly!
