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.

Attorney Davin Charney says there is a "systemic problem of illegal detentions, arrests and searches of people who refuse to identify themselves to police."
Waterloo Regional Police are once again facing a civil suit for wrongdoing. On August 2, 2009 two members of the Waterloo Regional Police arrested Davin Charney and Mark Corbiere for failing to identify themselves as they walked out of the Kitchener Farmers Market. The two have filed a claim in the Kitchener Small Claims Court.
