G20 Solidarity For Victims

[Also, see panel discussion event on G20 detentions, conspiracy charges and community organizing: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=129443883767446]

The 247 Support Committee works to ensure that the political targeting of
people for their involvement in the 2010 G20 People's Convergence end and
that all charges against the hundreds of individuals facing prosecution be
immediately dropped. The 247 Support Committee is part of the Toronto
Community Solidarity Network that is organizing a broad political and
legal defense in response to the Police violence of June 2010.

The immediate focus of the 247 Committee’s work is on providing support
and logistics around the upcoming August 23rd court date. If you or
someone you know would like to access the support of the 247 Committee,
please email us at 247.g20@gmail.com. The 247 Committee is working to
organize billeting, rides, media and general support (food, outreach, and
resource referrals) for August 23rd.

If you need billeting or help with transportation to court on August 23rd,
please email the 247 Committee as soon as possible at 247.g20@gmail.com.

If you are a representative of an organization planning to have a presence
at the court that day and would like to coordinate efforts, please contact
the 247 Support Committee as well at 247.g20@gmail.com.

Following the August 23rd court date, the 247 Committee through the
Toronto Community Solidarity Network will continue its work in support of
all G20 defendants, assisting with:

• logistics around the future court dates;
• resource referrals and information about trauma and other psycho-social
needs;
• legal defence fundraising support and access;
• a way for G20 Defendants and members of the 247 Support Committee to
connect with each other, mobilize and organize

Community Solidarity Network and future events and organizing, please

In solidarity,
