Women assembled for A Time to Vision - A Time
to Sing at The United Church of Canada Five Oaks Centre, Paris, Ontario
on October 26,27,28th, whose signatures are attached, are singing and speaking
with voices of dissent in solidarity with the voices expressed in the accompanying
document from the International Women’s Tribune Centre, regarding the current
military response in Afghanistan to the terrorist action of September 11,
2001.
Ms. Mcdonough, we unanimously send our support of the stance that you have consistently taken since September 11th regarding the necessity to act under the jurisdiction of the United Nations; to seek justice through an international court and to avoid responding with violent military action which history has proven simply perpetuates violence and does not lead to just solutions.
Writing on behalf of the group whose individual signatures are attached, I am,
Margaret E. Vannest
