Feb 17th Cross-Country Day of Action:
Momentum is building to #CloseTheLoopholes!
We are just over a week from the Day of Action urging our MPs to vote YES for The No More Loopholes Act. Momentum is building: there are already more than 20 actions registered across the country!
Check if there is an action registered in your community HERE!
If there isn’t yet an action in your community, consider planning one!
Let us know about your plans for an action HERE!
Lets register as many actions as possible across the country. Together, we will pressure our MPs to PICK A SIDE. We need to show a HUGE DEMAND for a full, two-way arms embargo on Israel and for Canadian weapons to not be used to fuel the US war machine and Israel’s genocide!
This past week has seen growing support for the No More Loopholes Act, with op-eds in The Hill Times and The Globe and Mail, written by a human rights expert and former Liberal cabinet ministers, urging the Canadian government to support this bill. A CBC investigation also dropped, showing that the government itself was investigating the risk of US-bound weapons ending up in Israel over a year ago!
The time is right: Add your voice to demand that the Canadian government CLOSE THE US LOOPHOLES by joining us on FEBRUARY 17!
Just Peace Advocates as part of the Arms Embargo Now (AEN) planning team, and as an initial organization supporting the Canadian BDS Coalition’s end arms trade with Israel call prior to AEN forming post October 2023, encourages you to make the call for a two-way arm embargo clear to MPs across so-called Canada.
