STOP THE DEPORTATION OF U.S. WAR RESISTER CLIFF CORNELL!
Cliff Cornell will speak about his story of joining then rejecting the US military, and seeking asylum in Canada.
MONDAY JANUARY 19
7 pm
UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA
DAVID STRONG BUILDING ROOM C108
Cliff faces deportation on January 22. Cliff has been living and working on Gabriola Island for the last three years and enjoys tremendous support there. He will be speaking in Victoria to encourage everyone to put pressure on the Harper government to respect the wishes of Canadians and Parliament, to allow resisters to stay in Canada.
Also, we will be welcoming new war resister Jeremy Hengst, now living in Victoria, who will tell his story here for the first time.
