Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________ Greetings solidarity friends, We are writing to you at this time to invite you to the Atlantic Regional Solidarity Network gathering on December 5-7th, 2003 at the Tatamagouche Centre. The theme of the weekend is "Solidarity in Accompaniment". Some of you may recall previous ARSN meetings held in New Brunswick and PEI. At the past Breaking the Silence Network meeting held in Tatamagouche, solidarity activists involved in Guatemala and other Latin American countries commited to reinitiating ARSN activities. To that end, an initial planning and development committee was organized and we are sending you this letter of invitation to participate in the event and the planning of the activities. The purpose of the weekend is to bring together many organizations and individuals in Atlantic Canada who are involved or interested in solidarity activities with Latin America. We hope to share analysis, empower and animate ourselves for new or renewed activities. The theme of Solidarity in Accompaniment allows us to examine the different ways in which we express our solidarity with our Latin American brothers and sisters; from protective accompaniment practices of human rights defenders; to support networks which provide invaluable fundraising and advocacy support and assistance; to education and awareness building leading to stronger solidarity movements. During the weekend we will also have an opportunity to hear analysis about the situation in Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Cuba among others. The registration for the weekend costs $35.00 and meals and accomodations will be $105.00. Total costs of registration with meals and accomodation is $140.00. We are particularily looking for individuals involved in Mexican and Cuban solidarity to become involved in the planning of the weekend. If you are interested please contact Steve Law at sunroot@ns.sympatico.ca or call (902) 632-2497. To register for the weekend contact 1-800-218-2220 or tatacent@tatacentre.ca. Hope to see you there. In solidarity, Stephen Law & Judy Loo ARSN planning committee ____________________________________________________________________________ Did a friend forward this to you? Join sust-mar yourself!
