MTL: Justice for George Floyd & All Victims of Police Racism
Justice for George Floyd (Minneapolis), Regis Korchinski-Paquet (Toronto), Tony McDade (Tallahassee) Breonna Taylor (Louisville), and All Victims of Police Impunity
Montreal Solidarity Demonstration
Sunday, May 31, 5pm at Montreal Police Headquarters
1441 St-Urbain (between de Maisonneuve & Ste-Catherine)
In the past several days, we have witnessed courageous resistance to racist police violence in Minneapolis and all over the USA, after the police murder of George Floyd.
Meanwhile, in Toronto this past Wednesday, Regis Korchinski-Paquet fell to her death from a high-rise balcony tower while alone with police.
That same day, Tony McDade was killed by police in Tallahassee.
In March, Breonna Taylor was shot by police in her own apartment, and recently protests have erupted in Louisville demanding justice in her case. Unfortunately, we can mention many more names of Black Lives who have been killed as a result of police racism in the past few weeks and months.
As we denounce recent police killings in the USA, we also denounce police killings of Black Lives here in Montreal, from Anthony Griffin in NDG in 1987 to BonyJean-Pierre in Montréal-Nord (2016), Pierre Coriolan in Centre-Sud (2017) and Nicholas Gibbs in NDG (2018).
The inspiring resistance to racist police violence in the United States demands our solidarity and support, even during the pandemic.
We encourage you, if you can, to attend this solidarity demonstration in large numbers this coming Sunday, to declare together #BlackLivesMatter and to denounce police violence and impunity against everyone.
(An initiative of several anti-police brutality and anti-racist activists and organizers in Montreal)
+++++++
NB: Everyone of all races and backgrounds are encouraged to attend the 17h protest in front of police HQ.
BEFORE the protest there will be a "Holding Space for Black Life" event that is reserved exclusively for Black folks. We need this time to be among ourselves to grieve, share & to hold one another. Please respect our space.
13h-16h00: Holding Space for Black Life.

A note about safety: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organizers of this demonstration encourage participants to participate as safely as possible, following public health protocols.
We ask that participants maintain 2 meters physical distance between each other, and have chosen a demonstration location where we can take up a lot of space.
We also ask that demonstration participants wear masks (except those who can't for other health reasons).
We will have some extra masks on-hand for those who forget or can't bring their own.
We will gather in hundreds while maintaining proper physical distance, and looking out for each other's safety and security.
We encourage participants to attend by car and bike as well, which might form a procession through downtown streets.

Thà đem niềm tin vứt vào SỌT RÁC còn hơn là đem đi ban phát để rồi MẤT MÁC quá nhiều ! Like cho tui nhaaaaaa !!!
This photo was taken during the March Against Racism in central London on Saturday on 18 March. Many activists were furious at the new anti-immigration legislation which is clearly in breach of international law.
Although there are no legal routes available to refugees from many Asian and African countries suffering from conflict and murderous repressive regimes, the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, is overseeing legislation which will criminalize refugees risking their lives at sea to reach relative safety. They will now have their asylum claims denied as inadmissible.
As marchers reached Downing Street, Braverman was thousands of miles away in Rwanda, reaffirming the UK's commitment to illegally expelling refugees to the impoverished country, which itself has a poor human rights record.
I asked ChatGPT to write 10 reasons why welcoming refugees is beneficial to society. Although I share many people's concerns about what the impact of this technology might be, I was fairly impressed by its reply -
1. Boosts economy: Refugees have the potential to contribute to the economy by starting businesses, creating jobs, and adding to the workforce.
2. Increases cultural diversity: Refugees come from different cultural backgrounds and can enrich society's cultural diversity by sharing their traditions, customs, and experiences.
3. Fosters empathy and understanding: Welcoming refugees can help increase empathy and understanding among people from different backgrounds, leading to harmony and greater social cohesion.
4. Strengthens our humanitarian values: Taking in refugees is a reflection of our commitment to human rights and humanitarian obligations, and it demonstrates solidarity with those who are suffering and seeking safety.
5. Tackles brain drain in developing countries: Some refugees may have high levels of education and skills that are needed in their home countries. By providing opportunities for them to work and contribute in host countries, they can then return and help rebuild their communities.
6. Reduces conflict: By providing a safe haven for refugees, host communities can play a role in reducing the levels of conflict and instability that can lead to forced displacement.
7. Brings new perspectives and ideas: Refugees can bring fresh perspectives, ideas, and expertise that can help drive innovation and progress in various fields.
8. Strengthens global solidarity: By welcoming refugees, host countries demonstrate a commitment to global solidarity and cooperation, which can help build bridges across borders.
9. Helps to maximize their potential: Providing support and resources to refugees can help maximize their potential and enable them to contribute to their host communities in meaningful ways.
10. Enhances international relationships: Building positive relationships with refugees and their home countries can lead to new opportunities for cultural exchange, trade, and diplomacy, which can facilitate greater cooperation between nations.
Apologies if some of the photographs in this series are clearly overexposed, which is due to my own stupidity and negligence as I forgot to reset the white balance after some indoor photography.

1965 TVR Griffith 400 a bit lightened driven by Mike Jordan and Kike Whitaker arriving 3rd at RAC TT Celebration 45 min race during Goodwood Revival 2018.
A typical RAC sign - situated at the Gartchonzie Bridge near Callander on 6/5/75. This bridge was immortalised in the Kenneth More version of the 39 Steps film where he managed to let the car in which he was captive run over the bridge only to crash into the t-junction road immediately beyond. Of course he escaped unhurt!
