PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY AT 3 PM, AT 1303 QUEEN ST W
THERE IS A PRESS CONFERENCE AT 3 PM IN FRONT OF THE PARKDALE LIBRARY AT 1303 QUEEN ST W, at 3 PM
Under increasing police intimidation and violence, the Toronto Communinty Mobilization Network is holding an emergency press conference at 1303 QUEEN ST W, at 3 PM, to discuss the legal abnormalities and willful disregard for due process which are occuring on our streets as we speak. Random and unlawful searches are occuring across the city, community organizers are targeted and the police presence on all streets is overwhelming.
THERE IS NO PRESS CONFERENCE AT 2 PM IN FRONT OF THE JAIL ON EASTERN AVE. THE MEDIA PHONE NUMBER IS STILL OPERATIONAL. 647-454-2443.
The G8/G20 meetings took place in Ontario from June 25-27, 2010. Toronto-based organizations of women, people of colour, indigenous peoples, the poor, the working class, queer and trans people and disabled people organized a peoples convergence with 40,000 people taking to the streets, standing up for justice in collaboration and solidarity!
Activists, community members, inspired and outraged individuals came together as a movement to demand justice for people and the planet. Over a week of mobilizations, events, workshops and direct actions took place in the face of state and police repression, violence and infringements on rights and freedoms.
We must continue to mobilize and build greater solidarity among our communities- an important part of this is supporting all those arrested during the G20 summit, including our allies still in detention, and those released on bail.
