An international peace-building event is taking place in Buffalo, NY, and Fort Erie, Ontario on June 16-17. Peace Has No Borders: A Festival of Resistance will be an historic opportunity for concerned citizens from the United States and Canada to join efforts in support of the U.S. Iraq war resisters who have crossed the border to find refuge in Canada.

Participants from both sides of the border are calling for an end to the occupation of Iraq, and pressuring the Canadian government to provide asylum to U.S. war resisters.

In Buffalo on Friday evening, there will be music, speakers, and appearances by well known friends of peace including Cindy Sheehan, Dave Cline, a Buffalo native and Vietnam veteran who is the national president of Veterans For Peace, members of Iraq Veterans Against the War, and parents of war resisters. This event is happening at 7 p.m. at Kleinhan’s Music Hall (Tickets are $15).

On Saturday afternoon, U.S. activists will meet with war resisters in Fort Erie, Ontario, at Sugarbowl Park, corner of Central Avenue and Gilmore Road, at 12:30 p.m.
