SOCIALIST ACI ON OCTOBER 1985 3

B BARRY WEISLEDER

Intervention Coalition (TAIC) has issued a call to all groups and individuals in English Canada and Quebec to participate in a demonstration on Oct. 26.

The coalition includes more than 80 antiwar, solidarity, church, women's, and community organizations. The call has been issued to coincide with anti-intervention protests on Oct. 26 across the United States and other countries.

The convergence of the anti-intervention and disarmament movements in this action is an important development.

The demands of the coalition are as follows:

1) Stop U.S. economic and military intervention in Central American and the Caribbean. Hands off Nicaragua. U.S. out of Grenada.

2) End Canadian involvement in U.S. militarism. No to "Star Wars" and Cruise Missile testing. Convert war production and research to production of socially useful goods and services. Money for jobs and human needs, not 3) Increase Canadian trade and government aid to Nicaragua. Establish a Canadian Embassy in Nicaragua. Halt aid to the dictatorships of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

All those interested in helping to build this protest are urged to contact TAIC at 427 Bloor St. West, Toronto, Ontario MSS 1X7, or call 537-3520.
