ECAWAR.org is the home of the Edmonton Coalition Against War and Racism.
We look forward to your participation with us in the long struggles against illegal occupations in Iraq, Palestine and elsewhere, and opposing repression and racial profiling in Canada.
We believe funding global human needs, rather than a "war on terror," is the answer to political violence.
