Rally to free Meng Wanzhou
Join us Tuesday, December 1st from 12:00-1:00 PM for a picket outside Meng Wanzou’s ongoing extradition hearing at the Liberal MP Joyce Murray's office (2112 W Broadway, Vancouver). Stop the extradition of Meng Wanzhou! Fight anti-Chinese racism! No war on Iran! End US sanctions now!
No War on China! Joining the global movement against a new cold war
Red Braid opposes the Western imperialist bloc that is reassembling against China, and especially, Canada’s central role in it. We believe the working class in the West must stand with the working class in China, not with Western imperial power. That means opposing war on China without compromise, and fighting sinophobia and the Canadian state head on.
