Victoria - G20 Debrief: Video and Conversation
Date: Friday, July 16
Time: 7pm-9pm
Location: Camas Books and Infoshop, 2590 Quadra St., Victoria, BC
Resistance to June's G20 Summit in Toronto was spirited, multi-faceted, and an amazing example of the effectiveness of community organizing. From the largest mass arrest in Canada to the apparent infiltration of grassroots groups across Ontario, resistance to the G20 Summit has serious implications for future mass mobilizations.
Come out and see video from B Channel, hear stories from folks who were there, and participate in discussion. What was effective? What did we learn? How do we move forward?

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.
