Put Democracy into Action on October 27 in Ottawa
On October 27th, 2009, Canadians are going to Ottawa to ask our political leaders to take the strongest possible stand on Iran. We urge you to join us at this year’s Democracy in Action – Crisis in Iran.
We must each stand up and take action regarding the effort to compel the Iranian regime to comply with and honour its obligations regarding its nuclear program, its human rights record and its role as a state sponsor of terrorism. Around the world, grassroots activists are speaking out and showing up to make their voices heard. In Canada, our voices are needed now before it is too late.
