Sabeel's November 2024 International Conference
Sabeel presents: Challenging Religious Extremism
November 17th - 21st
Register for Sabeel's November 2024 International Conference and/or their November 11th - 16th pre-conference tours!
The Sabeel conference, "Challenging Religious Extremism," will challenge religious extremism and supremacism through a scriptural, liberationist approach to theology by ecumenical and interfaith collaboration. The plenaries, workshops and visits will promote faith based, non-violent, peace-making initiatives to assist in the achievement of liberation, justice and peace in Palestine-Israel.
PHONE ZAP FOR GAZA ON NOVEMBER 12
It has been more than a year of what the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has described as Israel’s plausible genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
To date, at least 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, including more than 16,000 children. The Canadian government can abide by the ICJ opinions and help stop the climbing death toll by enacting a full, two-way arms embargo on Israel.
On Tuesday November 12th, you can help compel the federal government to finally impose a full arms embargo by joining us in a phone zap to escalate the pressure on MPs.

Western MSA Alumni Dinner
The Western MSA Alumni Dinner is happening on November 9th, 2024, from 6:00-10:00 PM at the Mustang Lounge, UCC. This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and the Western MSA community!
Whether you're a former MSA member or simply want to support the current MSA club, this dinner is a great chance to network, catch up with old friends, and celebrate the MSA’s legacy at Western. Tickets are $80 each, or you can get a table of 8 for $600 if you’d like to gather a group.
Let’s make this night memorable and give back to an organization that has made an impact on so many of us. I hope you’ll be able to attend—or, at the very least, consider buying a couple of tickets to support current and new MSA initiatives.
I sincerely hope to see you on November 9th and truly appreciate your support for our students.
