PICKET INDIGO SHAREHOLDERS MEETING


**********************************
When: Thursday, June 25th @ 9:30 a.m.
Where: MaRS Centre, 101 College St, Toronto (College and University SE corner)
TTC: Queens Park Subway or College streetcar
***********************************

Come out on Thursday, June 25th - Indigo Books and Music Inc. will be holding its annual shareholders’ meeting at the MaRS Centre in downtown Toronto. The Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA) invites its friends, supporters and allies to join us in protest to send a clear message to majority shareholders Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz that their continuing support of the Israeli military through the HESEG Foundation for Lone Soldiers is unacceptable! HESEG provides scholarships and other support to young people who go to Israel to join the Israeli military.

In December 2008 and January 2009 the Israeli military bombarded and invaded Gaza in a brutal attack which killed 1,400 Palestinians and wounded 5,000. Four thousand buildings were destroyed and 20,000 severely damaged – 50,000 Gazans were left homeless.

CAIA picketed Indigo book launches for Michael Ignatieff and Larry King in April and May of this year  and  will continue to build the campaign to boycott Chapters/Indigo until their majority shareholders publicly announce that they are cutting all financial ties to HESEG.

If you have drums or noisemakers bring them along to make sure that Indigo Books and Music Inc. shareholders hear our message!
