PRISONS AT THE FRONT LINE OF REVOLUTION
A Victoria Anarchist Reading Circle event with Juliet Belmas
After a lengthy prison term for smashing the state, Juliet Belmas has
gone on to produce several award-winning short films about women in
prison. Her painterly cinematic style and experimental production
values have been characterized ‘subtle, yet harrowing.’ This evening
she will discuss the politics of incarceration, including recent
round-ups at the G-20 summit in Toronto, and why prisons are a
“front-line” in the anarchist struggle.

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.
