Location
Come celebrate the launch of the first book about Toronto's G20 protests with a night of music, drinks, and general good times.
Whose Streets? The Toronto G20 and the Challenges of Summit Protest is a compilation of first hand testimonials and academic articles written by activists who helped organize the mobilizations, demonstrators and passersby who were arbitrarily arrested and detained, and scholars committed to the theory and practice of confronting neoliberal capitalism. It also provides analysis about resisting the right-wing corporate agenda that we can channel into the young but inspiring Occupy movement.

"Since 9/11 and the start of the so-called war on terror, protecting the space for non-violent direct action and civil disobedience has become more important than ever. By telling the stories of the dedicated activists who took our demands for local and global justice and democracy to the streets of Toronto, Whose Streets? offers proof that, in the face of state repression and police violence, our collective resistance to neo-liberal capitalism only grows stronger."-- Maude Barlow, national chairperson of the Council of Canadians
All proceeds go to the Toronto G20 Legal Defence Fund.
