Since the time when Quebec feminists launched the appeal for women's solidarity worldwide, the project has progressed by leaps and bounds. Today more than 130 countries are represented and over 2000 groups have signed up. Close to forty national coordinating bodies have been established. In other words, right this minute, thousands of women are in the process of building a magnificent collective event.

Why so much enthusiasm? Why is the World March of Women in the Year 2000 sparking so much interest; why is it leading women to waive their differences and build a consensus, why is it "luring" them into action?

The answer lies in how women live today and the new world they would like to live in. Women everywhere are the main victims of neoliberal policy. They are poor yet live on a rich planet. They are oppressed by patriarchal regimes. In many countries they must fight for their most elementary rights: water, food, shelter, paid work, access to school and citizenship, freedom to choose to bear children or not, and so on.

The World March of Women in the Year 2000 is not an organization or an agency (with a legal status or a charter) with members. It is a project for collective action in which women participate actively, which is why we have been asking groups interested in joining in the action to send us a sign-up coupon. Then they become participating groups in the project.

A new initiative at Carleton University sees students, staff and faculty coming together in an effort to eliminate racism on campus and in outside communities. Each year, the Carleton University community organizes numerous special event weeks to demonstrate their commitment to the fight against all forms of discrimination, whether it be based on sexual orientation, religion, culture, ability, or race. Throughout the week, events are organized to bring attention to racial discrimination, its impact on society and the campus community. All events are open to public participation and media coverage. These events include, among others, a march against racism, which will start at Dunton Tower bus stop on Carleton University campus, and the projection of the film American History X followed by a discussion on the 21^st, and some talks and concerts on the 22^nd an 23rd

This year's theme is “What is peace? Concepts of peace in a holistic perspective”. The University is
calling for papers from undergraduate students on this theme. Participants will be given 20 minutes to
present the thesis and content of their essay, or presentation, to be followed by a 30 minutes discussion.
Papers have to be submitted before February 11.

The goal of the evening is to share information and do some creative
thinking in order to further develop our assistance to support
Peace in Sierra Leone. Discussion will be informal, with
participation from all present, on (at least) these four questions:

1) What activities are Canadian NGOs involved in?

2) Outcomes -- successes, failures?

3) Where is there a lack of support? Where should we focus our attention and resources?

4) What more can we do here in Canada? - as individual groups, collaboratively?

Respect. Equality. Diversity. These are three fundamental Canadian values that
support the March 21 Campaign. The point of each annual Campaign is to make Canadians
aware that racism exists in Canada, and to inspire each of us to take action
against racial discrimination. You too can help end racial discrimination by acting
on March 21 and carrying its message throughout the year. With everyone working towards
a society in which Respect, Equality, and Diversity exist in unity, all Canadians will
benefit, now and in the future. We invite you to have a look at the website of the national
campaign for the detail of the events taking place in Canada and to sign the online
petition against racism.

The event will bring 70 youth from across Canada to Toronto for a 5 day training camp in professional facilitation for conflict resolution. The fourth day will have these youth facilitate 500 Toronto youth into action plans to create more peaceful school communities. The process will be unique and will be evaluated.

On March 24th, 1999, NATO began the bombing of Yugoslavia. The terror lasted 78 days.
While NATO was dropping bombs on our people, Serbs in Toronto and all around the world
demonstrated against this criminal barbarity. On March 24th, 2000, we will gather in front
of the US Consulate to commemorate the innocent killed and maimed by NATO bombs.
