| Rassemblement Outaouais Contre la Guerre Suite au grand succès de la manifestation du 18 janvier 2003 à Ottawa, des militants pour la paix de l'Outaouais ont eu l'idée de se réunir et de créer un rassemblement régional pour la paix, le ROCG. En effet, il était devenu nécessaire de mettre sur pied une organisation outaouaise pour intégrer le point de vue québécois et francophone dans la lutte contre la guerre. Notre but initial était d'amplifier la contestation régionale contre le projet d'agression de l'administration Bush sur le peuple irakien. À peine mis en place, le ROCG a organisé avec succés les manifestations d'Ottawa-Hull dans le cadre des journées internationales contre la guerre. Nous écrire: info©rocg.ca | 494 | |
