london supports war resisters
That's London, Ontario, of course. US and Brit readers may not realize that around these parts, "London" means a city in Ontario. The other London is called "London, England". This took some getting used to!
I would like to highlight the website of the London chapter of the War Resisters Support Campaign. You can see photos from some of their events, there's a blog, and most importantly, you can get in touch with them and get involved.
By coincidence, the first Iraq War resister in Canada I ever spoke with is London's Tim Richard. Longtime friend of wmtc (and friend of Allan and Laura!) James had a connection to him, and thought I might write about his story. I interviewed Tim, but quickly learned that Canadian editors were completely uninterested. (This was in early 2007.) Through Tim, I found Lee and the Campaign, and vowed to myself that when I was stopped writing for Kids On Wheels, I would join.
Now two London Campaigners read wmtc, at least when they're procrastinating.
