Welcome to the Student Assembly Against War and Racism, a pan-Canadian student conference to end the war in Afghanistan. We invite all students and youth from across Canada and Quebec to join us in building a mass student movement against war and racism, and in calling for Canadian troops to come home from Afghanistan.

The assembly will focus on Canada’s war in Afghanistan, where over 2,600 Canadian troops are currently deployed. Thousands more have been cycled through in the largest Canadian combat operation since the Korean War. The assembly will also address a broad range of topics including racism, Islamophobia, civil liberties, counter-recruitment, the militarization of campus, global solidarity, and more.

The assembly will feature a series of workshops that discuss anti-war issues and build organizing skills. It will also feature high-profile guest speakers, two evening panels, two anti-war socials, open organizing space, and a closing strategizing plenary.

The assembly is co-sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Students–Ontario and the Canadian Peace Alliance.

We hope you can be a part of it!
