Nov 28th - Bike Winterizing Workshop!

So our summer skillshare series didn't end up happening quite like we planned (mostly due to the events of the G20) but we're getting back on our game! We have a bunch of skillshares in the works, the first of which is in cooperation with our pals at Bike Pirates - here's the info:

*********************COME ONE COME ALL***********************
To The Bike Winterizing Workshop!

The Lovely Folks at Bike Pirates will instruct us how to winterize ourselves and our trusty bicycles for the upcoming winter. They will be informing us on winter bike maintenance, proper clothing, safety advice and more! A range of methods will be covered coming from a more radical d.i.y perspective on how to work with budgets from various incomes.

The workshop starts at 7pm and we're asking for $5 (no one will be turned away due to lack of funds). There will also be a Food Not Bombs serving!

While you're encouraged to bike over, this is not a hands-on workshop. We recommend bringing a notebook though!

This Event is:
-Family Friendly
-Wheelchair Accessible
-Women and Trans Friendly (folks with these identifications are also welcome to arrive earlier during Bike Pirates' Women and Trans Hours)
-Alcohol and Drug Free

Since there are space limitations, if you plan on coming please send an email to soggy_bottoms@hotmail.com.

Nuts to the TTC. Ride your Bike for Free!

July 23rd - Benefit for the G20 Legal Defence Fund

Friday, July 23rd
No Apathy! and the Toronto Anarchist Black Cross present:
Free Our Friends! A G20 Legal Defence Fundraiser

All proceeds from the door will go to the G20 Legal Defence Fund.
[This is part of a two-day fundraising effort - info on Thursday's event can be found here]

The G20 Legal Defense Fund Needs Your Help!

We need donations to support those arrested at the G20. You can support the detainees’ legal costs and help alleviate some of the other costs of navigating the court system, and help us keep organizing. We will be distributing the funds to those with the most need, prioritizing those still in custody on serious charges. Information below…

From June 25-27, elites from the world’s most powerful economies met in Huntsville and Toronto to draft policies to further exploit the environment and people, bolstering the systems that sustain colonialism, wars and displacement. Tens of thousands of people mobilized in a historic weeklong convergence in opposition to these policies. Daily demonstrations highlighted struggles for Indigenous sovereignty; environmental justice; migrant justice; an end to war and occupation; community control over resources; gender justice; and queer and disability rights.

Over $1.2 billion was spent on security, the most in G20 summit history, which paid for a dizzying array of weaponry and nearly 20,000 police—plus a security fence that turned Toronto into a fortress to host a select few and a police state to terrorize the rest of us.

Nearly 1,000 people, protesters and bystanders alike, were detained—the largest mass arrests in Canadian history. They were held for long periods in makeshift cages in deplorable conditions, most without timely access to legal counsel. Many had been simply caught up in massive police sweeps of public areas.  Others were woken at gunpoint while sleeping. Others were picked up at their homes. Some of those arrested are still in custody. Fifteen face serious charges. Many of these are long-time community organizers.

We need to support all of those arrested during the G20 summit. We must continue to mobilize and build greater solidarity among our communities. An important part of this will be supporting our courageous allies still in detention.
To transfer funds or write a cheque (with G20 Legal defense on the subject line) send donations to:

OPIRG York
transit number 00646
institution number 842
account number 3542240
Mail the cheques (written to OPIRG York, with G20 legal defense on the subject line) to:
Toronto Community Mobilization Network
360A Bloor Street W
PO Box 68557
Toronto, ON

Thank you for your help. Together we will create a just world that places people and the environment before the profits of corporations and the political elite.
In solidarity,
Toronto Community Mobilization Network
