For our friends who are still in prison on trumped up charges. For our
family who were arbitrarily arrested and stripped of their rights and
dignity. For all our allies who took to the streets to resist the
brutal policies of June's G20 Summit in Toronto. For our right to
speak, resist, protest, be human and find justice...
WE BUST A MOVE.

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.
