Public Meetings

Drive @ Napier Street

On Friday, August 31 over ten Transit
Police and RCMP officers participated in the assault, handcuffing,
and forced removal of three peaceful Fire This Time newspaper
distributors from the Metrotown Skytrain station. All three were
released without charges later that night and visited hospital
emergency rooms with various injuries.

Formed in response to
this assault, the Vancouver Committee to Defend Freedom of Expression
has grown into a diverse and active group organizing consistent
activities in defence of civil liberties and democratic rights.
Public support has been growing, and so has the Committee and its
activities!

The next step is a big legal and political
campaign fundraiser to help keep the campaign moving forward. 
There are many upcoming political and legal actions which are
necessary, and we are confident we can sustain them through strong
community support.

The fundraiser is this Friday, September
12th, 7:30pm at the Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House (800 East
Broadway). Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door.  The
event will feature delicious food and amazing live music and
performances.  For tickets call: 778-889-7664. For more
information visit: www.stoppoliceassault.com

You can now also
donate directly online at www.stoppoliceassault.com as well!

The
Vancouver Committee to Defend Freedom of Expression will meet to
discuss the political and legal campaign fundraiser as well as some
exciting new developments and actions in the campaign to defend Fire
This Time and of all our civil liberties and democratic rights.
Please join us in this important fight! We will win!
