How much of Earth's atmosphere must we contaminate? How much of our lands and waters must we pollute? How much of our resources must we plunder, deplete? How many species must we ravage, despoil, extinguish? How many people must we degrade, deprive, destroy with toxic wastes and wars, before we learn to respect one another, to live in harmony on this planet, our Home? "All living beings are brothers and sisters, nourished from the same source of life.." -- Thich Nhat Hanh

I was born in Eastern Europe during the height of the Stalinist regime's reign of terror. Thus, I know what it is like to live under a repressive, dictatorial regime. The fear and terror -- as dissident friends and family members were tortured, imprisoned and some were executed -- is indelibly etched in my memory. That is the reason I have always been an ardent advocate of freedom, social justice, civil liberties, human rights and a voice of peace. The way I see it, war is morally wrong, regardless of who wages it, for whatever reason. No piece of land or commodity is worth the sacrifice of one human life. We are all members of the same race - the "human race" - and must learn to coexist peacefully. Our planet cannot sustain us much longer if we do not stop our wars, nukes, polluting, deforestation, and the wasteful, gluttonous consumption and depletion of our natural resources.

EVENT: Cindy Sheehan Speaking in Toronto on May 3rd!

The Students' Administrative Council at the University of Toronto
and the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War
are pleased to present

CINDY SHEEHAN
Military Mom Speaks Out

Featuring
Cindy Sheehan, Gold Star Families for Peace (US)
Michelle De Ford, Gold Star Families for Peace (US)
And other special guests TBA

Cindy Sheehan is a founding member of Gold Star Families for Peace and a leading figure of the anti-war movement in the United States. A military mother whose son, Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq in April 2004, Cindy struck a chord with millions of Americans when she camped outside George Bush's Texas ranch in 2005 demanding to know the truth about why Bush took the US to war. Cindy has since spoken to audiences around the world about her quest for peace and justice and to bring US troops home from Iraq. Cindy will be joined by military mom and Gold Star Family member Michelle De Ford whose son, Sgt. David Johnson, was killed in Iraq in September 2004.

Cindy will speak in Canada on a four-city speaking tour starting in Toronto on May 3. This event will be Cindy's only public appearance in Toronto.
