Group Statement Regarding Our Plea Deal (from Conspire to Resist):

November 22, 2011 — As people across Turtle Island look towards the global wave of protests against the austerity agenda, the memory of the 2010 G20 protests in Toronto looms large as both inspiration and caution. We are seventeen people accused by the state of planning to disrupt the leaders summit – the prosecutors call us the G20 Main Conspiracy Group.

Hundreds of thousands of Egyptian people are fighting all over Egypt against the repressive apparatus of the military junta. This is a genuine rebellion of the bulk of the oppressed and not a clash between the Islamists and the army, as portrayed by some mainstream media. Anarkismo.net managed to talk to an anarchist-communist from Egypt, Yasser Abdullah, member of the Egyptian Libertarian Socialist Movement, who gave us his testimony of the complex struggle ahead and the potential for a complete revolution of the masses.

The Egyptian masses rise up again to complete their revolution!

KW action for "this is what a demonstration looks like" followed by police intimidation

Banners out front of police station

In Kitchener/Waterloo today, we, community organizers, conscious citizens, engaged students, and concerned professors, marched from WLU to the Waterloo police station, as part of the "This is what a public demonstration looks like" day of action. Police were quickly on hand as soon as we left the campus, immediately threatening that should we walk onto the street police will take action. We managed to make it to the police station marching on the road with police following in and around the march, without any trouble however.

With banners reading "no one is free" and "until we are all free," we rallied out front of the Waterloo police station, demanding justice and standing up for our friends and allies, making it clear that ruling a public panel is a public demonstration, is unacceptable and will be challenged. We will not remain silent while our community members are repressed, as this ruling sets a grave precedent for all future organizers.
