99 NGOs endorse COAT's
festival of nonviolence, Oct.6
Updated list: 99 NGOs have now endorsed
COAT's "No to NATO: Festival of Creative NonViolence"
As of September 4, the Coalition to Oppose
the Arms Trade (COAT) has
received almost 100 NGO endorsements for our
"No to NATO: Festival of
Creative Nonviolence," to be held on October
6 (1-5 pm), in Majors Hill
Park, Ottawa.
Some of the endorsers are large national
organizations (like the Canadian
Auto Workers, the Canadian Federation of
Students, the Council of
Canadians, the New Democratic Party-Canada
and the National Union of Public
and General Employees. Others are regional
or local groups focused on
peace, human rights, the environment and
other issues. We now have 24 NGOs
from 10 other countries.
Please help us to build even more support
for this initiative by
encouraging other NGOs to endorse the
festival. All are welcome. The more
the merrier! The two main purposes of the
festival are summarized
<http://www.flora.org/coat/forum/216>
We will list all endorsing organizations in
written materials for the
event, in COAT's quarterly magazine (Press
for Conversion!), our
"no_to_nato" list serve and the COAT website
<http://www.ncf.ca/coat> Our
website will eventually include contact
information, web links and a 30
word description of each organization.
Endorsing NGOs are also invited to
provide a statement of solidarity for
circulation at the event.
