On June 26th the G20 met in Toronto with the government spending over $1
billion on the summit. This money funded the militarization of our city,
security fees, promotional stunts involving a fake lake, lavish dinners
and hotels for world leaders and their entourages. That weekend, in
response to the G20 meeting, tens of thousands of people demonstrated on
the streets of Toronto despite police violence and extreme intimidation.
We know all too well that these attempts to criminalize and brutalize will
continue in the daily violence that poor communities, people of colour,
and First Nations communities face.

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.
