This organizational meeting aims to bring together social justice 
activists in Beirut representing various groups and organizations. The 
goal to discuss the organizational and political framework for setting-up 
an international solidarity initiative between social justice movements 
and activists in Lebanon with those in North America, specifically in 
Montreal.

This discussion for this initiative emerges from various political 
dialogue and discussions, which have been taking place between activists 
throughout the past couple of years. It is rooted in a common consensus to 
build long-term, sustainable and organizationally effective links between 
social justice movements in Lebanon and those internationally. 
Specifically this discussion will focus on the possibility of setting-up a 
working organizational body, composed of activists from both Beirut and 
Montreal to stragize, plan and organize collective.

The organizational goals for the establishment of this international 
solidarity project in Lebanon, which will focus on three key areas, 1) the 
organizing of common political campaigns between Lebanon & Canada, 2) the 
development of independent media projects, with a focus of transferring 
financial & technical resources from Canada to Lebanon, & 3) the 
development of a organizational structure in both Beirut & Montreal, which 
will facilitate the travel of activists from Canada to Lebanon, with the 
goal of documenting, supporting and engaging with local struggles for 
social & economic justice....

Clearly the ideas expressed above are working proposals and are subject to 
change given the discussions, to take place in both Montreal and Beirut 
over the coming months. Please do confirm by email your participation in 
the upcoming Beirut meeting....
