Who are the Fierce & Fabulous 3?
The Fierce & Fabulous 3 are three members of the Fierce & Fabulous Krew. They were attacked and arrested by University of Guelph campus pigs while outside of an annual drag show on the night of March 5th, 2010. They were brutalized by the pigs during what we see as a very targeted arrest of queers. they’ve all been charged with Assault Police. One has also been charged with a breach of probation and drinking in public. The crown is seeking jail time for these charges.
Who are the G20 Arrestees?
During the G20 Summit in Toronto on June 25-27, over 1090 people were arrested and detained in Kanadas biggest mass arrest. There are still 17 people in custody who are being charged with conspiracy relating to organizing the protests and others facing an assortment of other charges from the protests

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.
