Please join us for a special Eid dinner and celebration, and to welcome George Galloway back to Toronto. This event will be Mr. Galloway's only Toronto appearance during his ten-city pan-Canadian speaking tour, from November 16 to 27.

Mr. Galloway will speak about the situation in Gaza and the rest of Palestine, and what we can do to end the siege. Mr. Galloway will also talk about our common struggle against Islamophobia, anti-Arab racism, and attacks on our civil liberties, and why we need a united movement to win peace and justice for all oppressed people.
