"Feminists Say NO Racism: Stop the War on Immigrants and Refugees!"

John Howard blames migrants for working people's misery and slams the door 
on those seeking asylum. Only big business is welcome.

Join our panel discussion, addressing what people are up against when they 
migrate or escape to this country. What is behind Fortress Australia? What 
role can feminists play in the growing anti-war and anti-racism movements? 
Speakers are  Silvia Martinez, Uruguayan feminist, Rosemary Jimenez, 
journalist working with human rights organisations in Colombia, Rachel 
Evans, member of Refugee Action Collective, Iudita Trifa, from Working 
Women's Health, Surma Hamid, Iraqi refugee working with the Committee in 
Defence of Iraqi Women's Rights, Esperanza Acosta, Salvadoran freedom 
fighter. Everyone is welcome!

Meetings are free. A delicious multicultural dinner is served at 6.30 pm 
for a $6.00 donation.

LL:INFO: Peace Office occupation

[Caspar Cumming]

On the 9th of November, after a fun gathering and walk through the city of 
about 100 people who were opposed to the World Trade Organisation, we 
occupied a disused office at 435 Swanston St belonging to RMIT, and turned 
it into a peace office. We are repainting the place and fixing it up, and 
intend to use it to publicise peace. We were just informed the manager of 
RMIT is going to tell us to leave tomorrow. We could really use your support.

Call or email these RMIT staff and tell them you support us.
