For ten days at the end of June, the Police led a coordinated armed
assault against Toronto's civilian population. Community organizers were
in particular targeted. Mobilizations for justice, for dignity and for
self-determination were infiltrated, harassed and intimidated. A Canada
wide response is at hand... as people fight to have the criminal charges
dropped and to continue the struggle against the G20's anti-people and
anti-environment policies. (Support the Legal Defence Fund!

To understand why people mobilized against the G20 and how organizers were targeted; to hear accounts of police brutality and repression; and to
understand the political nature of the bail conditions, the criminalization of dissent and ways to support the people facing charges, join us for an informative panel and discussion.

This event is focused towards activists, grassroots organizers and people
who are interested in knowing more and acting in solidarity with local
struggles and defendants.
