CALL OUT: JUSTICE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AGAINST G20 REPRESSION

WHEN: WEDNESDAY 7 JULY 2010

WHERE: WATERLOO TOWN SQUARE and various locations

TIME: 4PM-6PM

There is a tremendous community bursting in Kitchener-Waterloo that believes another world is possible.

On Wednesday July 7, 2010 citizens from K-W who had their rights violated in Toronto at the G20 are organising a rally and a march to speak out against police repression, violence, and the violations of civil liberties. We will be starting at Waterloo Town Square and marching to various locations in uptown Waterloo. This will be a family friendly march with music, poetry, food, speeches and balloons.

The G20 in Toronto saw the largest mass arrest in Canadian history and fundamental violations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. From 21-27 June citizens organising around the G20 in Toronto were harassed, illegally searched and had their property illegally seized, women were sexually assaulted, the police used excessive force, and thousands witnessed the horrendous conditions in the makeshift Film Studio detention camp for protestors.

500 Years of Indigenous Resistance

The history of the colonization of the Americas by Europeans is often portrayed as a mutually beneficial process, in which '”civilization” was brought to the Natives, who in return shared their land and cultures. A more critical history might present it as a genocide in which Indigenous peoples were helpless victims, overwhelmed and awed by European military power. In reality, neither of these views is correct.

Press Release: April 28, 2010

Toronto— At the conclusion of the Halifax demonstrations against the G8 Development Ministerial, Toronto activists are finalizing plans for a week of similar events during the June G20 Summit, to mark the G20's unwillingness to meet its own commitments to global equality.

April 16th 2010 - Taser use on pregnant women and 10 year olds, what the hell is wrong with the police state... Dan relates Canada's policies to the G8/20 and reads the call out for the Indigenous sovereignty day of action during the G20 convergence and a VMC interview with Arthur Manuel of Defenders of The Land. We also play a piece from Lia Tarachansky on neoliberalism in Israel, and read a review of 'Direct Action: An Ethnography'.

G8/G20 CONVERGENCE 2010

ALL OUT AGAINST THE G8/G20!
25-27 June 2010

The Group of 8 Leaders and the Group of 20 Leaders are meeting in Ontario, from the 25th to the 27th of June, 2010. On these same dates we are calling for a people's convergence in Toronto.

These gatherings are about trying to fix capitalism, a system that cannot be fixed; about creating unsustainable trading solutions to ecological catastrophe; about ensuring the continued exploitation of people of colour and the South and about celebrating war as a means to create puppet allies
and maintain imperialist power.

This is a call to disrupt and shut down the places, the systems and the ideas that exploit and exclude us.

In their place, let us creatively build the world we wish to live in. A world with self-determination for indigenous peoples; climate and environmental justice; income equity and community control over resources; migrant justice and an end to war and occupation; gender justice, queer and disAbility rights.

On these days, we call for Days of Action across the world that showcase solutions from the ground up.

April 2nd 2010 - While technical problems may have plagued the show, it was still loaded with goodness. Sterling Stutz joins the show for a recap of Fossil Fools Day, Dan reports on regional trade agendas and spouts off about the G8, and some more stuff...
