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.

Mississauga Coalition for Peace & Justice: New Website and Organizing Mtg. Sunday 24

Dear MCPJ Members/Activits/Concerned Mississauga Residents,

we are pleased to announce that we have formally launched the official website for the MCPJ - Mississauga's fastest growing Peace & Social Justice organization! www.JustPeace.ca / www.MCPJ.org . This is YOUR resource on the internet for Peace & Social Justice issues and activities in our great city of Mississauga. We invite you to join our group and interact with thousands of other Mississaugans who care about these issues and want to make a positive change - in their communities and around the world! Spread the Word!

********************************************

A nation- wide call for action is being planned for OCTOBER 28, 2006!

Troops Out of Afghanistan: http://www.acp-cpa.ca/en/Afghanistan.htm

Cities across Canada will be demonstrating to oppose Canada's Role in Afghanistan. Now that the NDP has taken a clear position against the war, it's crucial that the anti-war movement be more vocal and visible than ever. As the debate over Afghanistan grows and intensifies, peace activists need to mobilize and remain an ever present, unwavering force.

Please join the Mississauga Coalition for Peace and Justice for an

organizing meeting being held on:

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 24

Palestine House: 3195 Erindale Station Rd. (Mississauga)

11:00am- 2:00pm

In the past, us west-end activists have had great success when we've organized and collaborated our efforts. Together, we have the potential to build a strong, united coalition. Thus, it's imperative that we plan for the October 28 day of action TOGETHER!! We sincerely hope you'll join us for the planning meeting on Sunday.

Feel free to invite your friends.

Please RSVP : mcpj@resist.ca
