This is actually an urgent rally (details below), considering that the Conservative government is deporting U.S. war resisters to lengthy jail terms. Please help build awareness about the plight of war resisters in your community. It is a shame that the best literature from the United States is about war, but that says a lot about the country. When Joshua Key wrote A Deserter’s Tale with Lawrence Hill (a book that is in Joshua’s voice), he became a big target for the U.S. war machine because he told the truth about Iraq. It’s important to show community support for Joshua Key and his family by attending the rally.         – The Conservative government is deporting U.S. war resisters in Canada to lengthy jail terms         – Joshua has a legal opinion he could get 35 years in a US military prison         – His family would be destroyed The rally is a pro-family, anti-war crime activity. Please invite people through or share this event page on your timeline: https://www.facebook.com/events/310774615795492/ If you can’t attend this rally, please write a sentence in solidarity with the Key family on the event page; sign your name, community and group, if you can represent one. We’ll read them out on Friday. Especially welcome is international (including in Canada) support for keeping the Key family together. * * * * * * Rally in support of the Key Family Fri.
