This Thursday evening, Nov. 29, an event focusing on resistance and the right of return for Palestinians to Palestine and for Katrina/Rita survivors to New Orleans is being threatened with censorship.
Canisius College has decided that the event is "anti-Israel" and should be suppressed. They say the Office of Public Relations has been flooded with a campaign of emails calling on the College not to permit the event to take place.
At first the college said they were canceling the event. Now Canisius Public Relations says they will limit this event to Canisius students and faculty only, ID required, with a guard at the door.
You are urged to immediately contact Public Relations at Canisius to protest -

Determined to take the power of our demands to end the war now to Washington, the bus from Buffalo triumphed over storm, unplowed roads, and terrible driving conditions and arrived just in time to join the march to the Pentagon!
In freezing temperatures, and strong winds, we carried a Buffalo banner the whole way.....
......and got there to take part in the huge rally.
Many many thousands were prevented from reaching the Pentagon by the impossible (and sometimes impassable) weather conditions.
Many many more, including a very large number of buses, were blocked from entering the area around the Pentagon by the police, who ignored the permits and signed agreements.
But despite being prevented from getting to our bus after the rally, we did all find eachother and our driver, and got back to Buffalo--- a victory of anti war conviction and determination!

Antiwar Demonstration at Entrance to Fort Drum
For VP Dick Cheney the Opposition Is EverywhereDecember 8, 2005--A few days ago, an IAC antiwar activist living near Watertown NY learned that Dick Cheney was going to speak at the military base at Fort Drum, north of Watertown. She couldn't allow this war criminal and profiteer to appear with no one there to speak the truth. With some very rapid help from the Buffalo/WNY International Action Center and the Syracuse Peace Council, intrepid activists carpooled from Syracuse, about 100 miles south of Fort Drum, very early on Tuesday morning, and a demonstration materialized even at this supposedly "safe"(opposition-free) outpost!

The Buffalo/WNY International Action Center and many other activist groups
in this area have been involved in the anti-racial profiling and
anti-police brutality workas activists over the last several years. We
think this will be of interest to all and is something we should follow.The following link was received from a friend of the IAC, with a request
that we review and circulate the information. The website this link takes
you to is a local one, and the events described pertain to Western New
York. The website discloses discriminatory practices on the part of J.C.
Penney Company, Inc. Please look it over and pass it on---- >
