Coordinated by the
Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade
(COAT)
Many thanks to everyone who attended the COAT planning
meetings since February to organise this year's campaign against the CANSEC 2010
military trade show. Thanks also to all the organisations that supported our
efforts. COAT's main event, the June 2 "Rally
for Peace," was great!
