OTTAWA] In the year 2010, three major international events will be taking place in the Canadian state: the Winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler (between February 12-28); the G8 Leader's Summit in Huntsville, Ontario (most likely in June or July); and the meeting of the NAFTA leaders as part of the so-called "Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP)" (date and location not yet known). Already, groups and individuals on the West Coast have come together under the banner of "No Olympics on stolen native land." They have been organizing and raising awareness, from an anti-colonial and anti-capitalist perspective, against the 2010 Olympics, for several years. [More info available at www.no2010.com and http://harrietspirit.blogspot.com/] Inspired by the mobilizing on the West Coast, organizers across "Canada" have begun awareness-raising efforts. Building on the call from the West Coast for anti-capitalist and anti-colonial resistance to the Olympics, some organizers affiliated with the "People's Global Action" Bloc (PGA-Bloc) in Ontario and Quebec have begun mobilizing around "Resistance2010", linking anti-Olympics efforts to organizing against the G8 and SPP, and the day-to-day systems and institutions of power and oppression they represent. With more than one-year before the Olympics begin, there is a huge opportunity for coordinated and developed campaigns against the Olympics, G-8 and SPP: campaigns that are rooted in our every-day mobilizing, and survival; and campaigns that understand that the institutions of oppression and power function daily in our own communities. The PGA-Bloc is organizing within the framework of the People's Global Action Hallmarks, which are linked at: www.agp.org The PGA Hallmarks are a common expression of some of our basic politics, and are linked to a loose international network of grassroots resistance to capitalism that is directly inspired by the Zapatistas. Over the past several years, the "PGA-Bloc" has been used in Ontario and Quebec for various organizing efforts, such as opposing George Bush's visit to Ottawa (2004) and mobilizing against the SPP meeting in Montebello (2007). The PGA network is also linked to numerous groups who organized anti-capitalist resistance to the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City (2001). Whether groups are organizing within the PGA Hallmarks or not, we would like to communicate and organize with everyone with shared affinities -- anti-capitalist and anti-colonial analysis; support for direct action; confrontation of oppressive systems; opposition to all forms of oppression; autonomous and horizontal organizing; and support of Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination -- in a spirit of unity, solidarity and mutual aid. There have so far been two regional organizing meetings in Ottawa (in January and July 2008) related to the Resistance 2010 campaign, bringing together activists from Ontario and Quebec. Allies have been meeting in Halifax as well. A Resistance 2010 information session was held at the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair this past May, involving participants from Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes as well as the Northeast USA. To date, there have been two visits by Indigenous organizers in "British Columbia" to Ontario and Quebec, and communications between organizers across "Canada". This callout (our second; the first was made in January 2008) is being made to again encourage networking and communications between groups and individuals who support the Resistance 2010 campaign. We write this in the hopes that we can re-kindle old networks, encourage and join new ones, and support each other's organizing and struggles towards 2010 and beyond. In solidarity and in struggle, Members and supporters of the PGA-Bloc in Ontario and Quebec. www.resistance2010.net (under construction) info at resistance2010.net *GET INVOLVED:* *ENDORSE RESISTANCE 2010:* We encourage groups and organizations to discuss the Resistance 2010 campaign.

Huntsville, Ontario (en juin ou en juillet) et la rencontre des chefs d'?tat de l'AL?NA dans la poursuite de l'agenda du ?Partenariat pour la s?curit? et la prosp?rit? (PSP)? (le lieu et les dates ne sont pas encore connus). Sur la c?te ouest, des groupes et des individus s'organisent d?j? depuis plusieurs ann?es pour sensibiliser la population et s'opposer aux jeux olympiques de 2010 dans une perspective anti-colonialiste et anti-capitaliste sous le th?me : ?Pas d'Olympiques sur des terres autochtones vol?es?. Pour plus d'information, visitez les sites:http://www.no2010.comet http://harrietspirit.blogspot.com D'un bout ? l'autre de ce qu'on appelle ?le Canada?, plusieurs militantEs ont commenc? une campagne de sensibilisation. Inspir?Es par l'appel de la c?te ouest ? une r?sistance anti-capitaliste et anticoloniale aux olympiques, quelques militantEs faisant partie du r?seau de l'Action mondiale des peuples (bloc-AMP) au Qu?bec et en Ontario ont commenc? ? mobiliser autour de la campagne ? R?sistance 2010 ?, dans l'optique de relier les mouvements d'opposition au G-8, au PSP et aux Jeux Olympiques en d?non?ant les syst?mes et institutions de pouvoir et d'oppression qu'ils repr?sentent. Avec plus d'un an de d?lais avant la tenue de ces ?v?nements, nous avons la possibilit? de d?velopper et de coordonner des campagnes d'envergures contre le G-8, le PSP et les Jeux Olympiques, des campagnes enracin?es dans nos luttes quotidiennes et qui permettent de bien comprendre comment les syst?mes d'oppression et de pouvoir repr?sent?s par ces institutions se manifestent dans nos communaut?s. Pour conna?tre les principes de l'AMP qui rassemblent les groupes et individus impliqu?s dans la campagne, visitez www.agp.org. Les principes de l'AMP r?sument des valeurs partag?es et relient les activistes qui les adoptent avec un large r?seau international de r?sistances locales au capitalisme qui est directement inspir? des Zapatistes. Au cours des derni?res ann?es, des collectifs se sont regroup?s sur les bases de l'AMP en Ontario et au Qu?bec pour mener ? bien diff?rentes mobilisations, comme la r?sistance ? la venue de George Bush ? Ottawa (2004) et la r?sistance au sommet du PSP ? Montebello (2007). Le r?seau de l'AMP f?t ?galement en contact avec de nombreux groupes ayant particip? ? la r?sistance anti-capitaliste lors du Sommet des Am?riques ? Qu?bec (2001). R?sistance 2010! ne s'adresse pas exclusivement aux groupes organis?s sur les bases de l'AMP. N'importe qui partageant un minimum d'affinit? peut se joindre, soit: une analyse anti-capitaliste et anticoloniale; un support de l'action directe; une attitude de confrontation envers les syst?mes d'oppressions; une opposition ? toute forme d'oppression; un respect de l'organisation autonome et horizontale et un soutien aux principes de souverainet? autochtone et d'autod?termination, dans une optique d'unit?, de solidarit? et d'aide mutuelle. Jusqu'? pr?sent, il y a eu deux rencontres d'organisation reli?es ? la campagne ?R?sistance 2010?. Elles se sont tenues ? Ottawa en janvier et en juillet 2008 et ont rassembl? des activistes de l'Ontario et du Qu?bec. Des militantEs se sont aussi r?unis sur ce th?me ? Halifax. Au Salon du livre anarchiste de Montr?al, une s?ance d'information s'est tenue pour pr?senter la campagne. Il y a ?galement eu deux visites d'activistes autochtones venus de l'ouest et les communications au sujet de la campagne se d?veloppent d'un oc?an ? l'autre. Cet appel, qui est le deuxi?me ? ?tre diffus?, est fait pour encourager la communication entre les groupes et les individus qui supportent la campagne ?R?sistance 2010 ? dans l'espoir de renouer d'anciens r?seaux, d'en encourager et d'en former de nouveaux et de permettre un soutien mutuel des efforts d'organisation partout au pays d'ici 2010 et m?me apr?s!

All I know is that the world is round and that, unlike trees which have roots, people have feet for walking." - main text on the mural Report back from Artists for Kader: Mural Project and Weekend of Art Over the summer, a group of Montreal artists came together to launch a mural project in support of Kader. During the weekend of 9-10 August, Kader's 951st and 952nd days in sanctuary, the public was invited to come and watch them finish the mural and participate in arts workshops in the grounds of the church where Kader has lived for two and a half years. *Photos of the weekend: http://photos.cmaq.net/v/murale_kader/ *Article in Le Devoir: www.ledevoir.com/2008/08/11/201043.html *Article de la Pointe Libertaire : www.lapointelibertaire.org/node/691 The mural was created to support Kader as someone whose story is representative of migration in the 21st century; who has struggled against dehumanizing bureaucracy to be treated with dignity and respect; who has inspired a broad network of support and resistance; who has refused to be crushed by two and a half years of imprisonment, but has grown through the struggle, most remarkably as an artist himself. Though unable to leave the church himself, Kader has - through music, radio and the communities around him - helped build and inspire struggles for justice beyond the walls of St. Gabriel's Church. In this spirit, the mural will be leaving the church grounds after its launch and exhibited in different community spaces throughout Montreal over the coming months. (More on the mural and the artists involved below.) **Please keep in touch to find out where the Mural will be displayed in the coming weeks and months (www.soutienpourkader.net). **If you can FINANCIALLY SUPPORT the Committee to support Abdelkader Belaouni, now is the time to do so! In addition to our public education and political pressure work, we organize day-to-day support for Kader. Please get in touch to find out how to make a donation. We NEED your support! THE MURAL The mural is the work of some 25 Montreal artists, writers, supporters and friends of Kader's. The central image is Kader with his hands on his cane. Below him are several of his supporters, crouched on the ground, chalking the number of days that he has spent in sanctuary. As the lines they draw float upward and encircle Kader, they are transformed into musical notes, symbolising the way in which Kader's resistance and his very confinement have become a creative force, inspiring new ideas, actions and social relations. They meld into the skyline of Montreal, with the landmark Five Roses sign prominent, situating us in the Point Saint Charles neighbourhood. Spiraling around this central image, are the contributions of individual artists and writers, which together form a long banner of resistance with Kader at its centre. Among the contributors: Sarita Ahooja was born in Montreal and graduated from Concordia with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in 1995. While working with the Zapatista networks in Mexico, she organized two mural projects with youth from Indigenous communities that were targetted by the Mexican army. She has been involved with anti-capitalist and anti-colonial efforts for the past 15 years, and is a founding member of CLAC, No One is Illegal-Montreal and Solidarity Across Borders. "I believe that murals are a visual testimony to what marks a people, and what defines a moment. They are a great tool to educate and mobilize communities around issues that affect them directly, especially when they are done as collective project." Fortner Anderson is a poet. "It is important for me that Canada provide a refuge and safe harbour for people fleeing violence in their home countries. Our relative wealth and privilege obliges us to use our resources to help those in need. To me, the case of Mr. Kader is clear. Canada ought to welcome Mr. Kader, who through his work, courage and integrity to his ideals has shown us the true duty and function of the citizen, to inform and instruct his fellow citizens showing by example how we are to live ethically in this world. Oscar Carrillo Arroyo. Political refugee from Mexico to Canada in 2000. Activist with the CLAC from 2000 to 2004. Member of the Here the Other Campaign (Ici la otra campa?a) adhering to the EZLN's Sixth Declaration from the Lacandon Jungle. Producer and host at Radio Centre-ville since 2000. "I want to participate in the mural project because it is a way of helping my comrade Kader, because I am an immigrant, and I have also suffered political prosecution in Mexico and Canada. Because to struggle, by whatever means, is to show dignity. We are without papers, without work, are 'worth nothing', but we have dignity, we have speech, and this mural is a way of shouting our rage, our chief weapon, the imagination ." Shahrzad Arshadi is a human rights activist and Montr?al-based Canadian/Iranian artist. Shahrzad came to Canada as a political refugee on December 24th, 1983. In the past thirteen years, Shahrzad has ventured into different fields of photography, painting and video, enabling her focus on issues of memory, culture and human rights. Shahrzad has exhibited her work in various locations across North America and Europe. Abdelkader Belaouni is 'one of the gang'. He is currently taking a degree at the school of St. Gabriel Church, Point St. Charles . Marguerite Bilodeau: Composer of many songs, writer, musician, pianist, sings accompanied by her guitar. Painter and author of the play "Taxes for Peace". Activist for justice and peace for twenty years and part-time nurse. Member of ?chec ? la guerre, Ploughshares and Raging Granies. "Everyone has the right to their place in the sun of justice and peace. For more than five years, Kader has been like a seed in this soil to grow and blossom. He has become surrounded by gardeners who believe in him and with patience and perseverence have the same sense of justice and peace. Despite his handicap he has acted autonomously and as an agent of information, a source of hope. Kader deserves all our support." Tatiana Gomez is Kader`s friend. www.tatianagomez.com. Freda Guttman is an artist and activist. In more than forty years of active research and practice, her work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the United States and internationally. Her work is allied with her activism, and is often used in direct action and fund-raisers. "Participating in the making of the mural is an honour for me. Kader is a special person but at the same time, he represents the injustice millions face when they are forced to leave their homes and seek refuge in other countries." Rawi Hage is a writer and a visual artist. Rachel Heap-Lalonde is a member of the Vichama Collective and the Coalition for the reappropriation of the arts (with a small "a") by Everyone (with a big "E'"), CrapN' (the french acronym) ... "I decided to participate in this collective project in honour of Kader and of all those artists who are part of my community, which we construct day by day, together." Nidal El Khairy is an illustrator living in Amman, Jordan. After completing a Bachelor's in Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, he moved to Montreal. He was also active in several grassroots organizations, such as the Coalition against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees, and participated in group shows such as the Artists against Israeli Occupation, in both Montreal and Tokyo. "People all over the planet try to seek a better life, and that's all my brother Kader is trying to do. I wish I was next to him to stand in solidarity. Kader will soon be free of the chains of selective bureaucracy." Youssef Kacem is a friend of Kader's. "His situation really touches me. I am participating for Kader, for us, for all who are fighting for a bit of justice - and against borders." Laura MacDonald is a friend of Kader's who likes to make comics, and music with her local marching band. Nahed Mansour is an artist producing works shown outside of an art context. She believes that this mural project, dedicated to our friend Kader, will show only a glimpse of the support he has within the community. Farha Najah is a feminist activist who was born and lives in Montreal. "This mural is a way to show and express Kader's struggle for dignity. This very struggle holds a vision of a world where people are able to migrate without having to face borders, a world where people do not have to live in precarity with the threat of deportation, a world where people work and live together as a community. It is in this vision of a just world and in solidarity with Kader, who has been an inspiration in his resistance against a flawed immigration system, that I chose to take part in this collective artwork." Babar Shaheen, born in Pakistan, graduated from Punjab University in law, worked with the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) and Amnesty International for about 15 years. He came to Canada as a political refugee in 2002. He writes poetry in Urdu , Punjabi and English, mostly about political awakening and fighting against injustices. In 2005, he walked with Kader from Montreal to Ottawa in the march organized by Solidarity Across Borders to demand for status for all. "I cannot tolerate the injustice done to my friend Kader ." Marco Silvestro is a resident of Point Saint Charles who works with the Point Libertaire collective for autonomy in the neighbourhood. He prioritizes direction action, and is notably participating in a mural project on a wall which divides the neighbourhood in two, a project which has been been criminalized because it was not authorized. Marco in involved in supporting Kader because he believes that everyone deserves dignity, respect and freedom. "Kader is a friend and an artist whose right to remain here has not been respected by a state that only seeks greater economic profits for those who are already rich. Kader's mural should remind us that we are all migrants; that our parents, grand-parents, and grand-grandparents were migrants; that the earth belongs to those who live in it, not to "states" or "nations" which claim the right to refuse access. No borders! Smash the State!" www.lapointelibertaire.org Other contributors include: Magda Baczkowska, Bita Eslami, Graham Latham, Claude Otter and the Immigrant Workers Centre. Thanks also to the Carrefour d'?ducation Populaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles and St. Gabriel's Church for the use of their space to construct the mural. _______________________________________________ Soutienkader mailing list Soutienkader at lists.resist.ca https://lists.resist.ca/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soutienkader From soutienkader at gmail.com Thu Aug 21 19:15:00 2008 From: soutienkader at gmail.com (Soutien Kader) Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:15:00 -0400 Subject: [Bloquez l'empire!] [KADER] Retour sur Les Artistes pour Kader : Projet de murale & Fin de semaine d'art Message-ID: <015301c903fc$e5a3f7e0$6401a8c0@Yoodle> "Je ne comprends pas grand chose aux ?tats et aux fronti?res.

L'image centrale repr?sente Kader, les mains sur sa canne. En dessous, plusieurs des personnes qui lui apportent leur soutien, accroupies sur le sol, ?crivant ? la craie le nombre de jours qu'il a pass?s en sanctuaire. ? mesure que les lignes qu'ils dessinent flottent vers le haut et encerclent Kader, elles sont transform?es en notes musicales, symbolisant la mani?re dont la lutte de Kader et son enfermement m?me, sont devenues les sources d'une force cr?atrice, inspirant de nouvelles id?es, actions et relations sociales. Elles se fondent avec le ciel montr?alais, avec l'enseigne embl?matique de l'usine Five Roses en filigrane, nous encrant dans le quartier Pointe St-Charles. Formant une spirale autour ce cette image centrale, les contributions des artistes et auteurs s'ajoutent, formant une longue banni?re de r?sistance autour de Kader. Parmi les artistes participants : Sarita Ahooja est n?e ? Montr?al et a re?u un dipl?me en Beaux Arts de l'Universit? Concordia en 1995. Alors qu'elle travaillait avec des r?seaux Zapatistes au Mexique, elle a organis? deux projets de murales avec des jeunes de communaut?s autochtones qui ?taient cibl?es par l'arm?e mexicaine. Elle est impliqu?e dans la lutte anti-capitaliste et anti-coloniale ? Montr?al depuis les quinze derni?res ann?es, et est une membre fondatrice de la CLAC, Personne N'est Ill?gal-Montr?al et Solidarit? Sans Fronti?res. ? Je pense que les murales sont un t?moignage visuel de ce qui marque un peuple, et de ce qui d?finit un moment. Elles forment aussi un excellent outil d'?ducation et de mobilisation autour d'enjeux qui affectent des communaut?s, particuli?rement lorsqu'elles sont entreprises collectivement. ? Fortner Anderson est un po?te. ? C'est important pour moi que le Canada offre le refuge et la s?curit? aux gens qui fuient la violence dans leurs pays d'origine. Notre richesse et notre privil?ge relatifs nous obligent ? utiliser nos ressources pour aider ceux qui en ont besoin. Pour moi, le cas de M. Kader est clair. Le Canada doit accueillir M. Kader, qui, ? travers son travail, son courage et son attachement ? ses id?aux, a d?montr? la v?ritable fonction et responsabilit? du citoyen: informer et instruire ses concitoyens en montrant l'exemple d'une vie ?thiqie dans ce monde. ?

It's been called a "European gated community" in Africa. In recent years, as part of the implementation of Fortress Europe, a border fence has gone up in Ceuta and Melilla, in addition to other interdiction efforts. These repressive measures have not stopped migrants from trying to enter into the EU, but rather has forced them to make even more dangerous and longer journies, getting onto boats further south, in Senegal and Mauritania, trying to reach the Canary Islands. Spain, with the collaboration of Morocco, re-inforced the border fence in Ceuta and Melilla in 2005. In 2006, according to the Red Cross, at least 3000 migrants drowned trying to make the more precarious journey to Europe from Mauritania further south, a direct result of the border fence at Ceuta and Melilla. On this month's edition of No One Is Illegal Radio, we get a frontline report from Ceuta from David Moffette, a member of No One Is Illegal-Quebec City. For the past two months, David has been in Ceuta where he's investigating immigration discourses and the treatment of migrants in Ceuta who try to get into the EU. (Notes: Interviews by David with migrants camped out in Ceuta will be featured on a future edition of NOII Radio; interview begins with the track "Fortress Europe" by Asian Dub Foundation and ends with "Desobeissance civile" by Keny Arkana.) *ICE RAID IN POSTVILLE, IOWA interviews with members of the Wild Rose Rebellion Network (Iowa City) * This past May 12, 2008, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa. Close to 400 migrants, mainly men and women from Guatemala, were detained in what is considered the largest such raid in American history. In the initial days after the raid, the migrants were detained and processed at a cattle fairgrounds. Many were charged criminally, in addition to dealing with deportation proceedings. Several people have not been accounted for, while the very few migrants who have been released, to be with their small children, are required to wear GPS tracking devices. On the August edition of No One Is Illegal Radio, we hear from Ryan Spurgetis and Warren Conatser-Echevarria, based in Iowa City, and part of the Wild Rose Rebellion Anarchist Network. Both Ryan and Warren were involved in support efforts after the Postville raid. *--> LISTEN to the AUGUST 2008 edition of No One Is Illegal Radio here: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/28925* ---------- No One Is Illegal Radio broadcasts live on the first Thursday of every month, from 5-6pm (EST), as part of "Off the Hour", produced in collaboration with the community news collective at CKUT.

Riots have always frightened the ruling classes. The dominant ideologues have tried to discredit riots by all means at their disposal. Riots are supposedly 'irrational', 'violent', and a product of the 'rabble', 'troublemakers' and 'rock-throwers'. Through an analysis of some of Quebec's past riots, we will see what are the actual characteristics of a riot, beyond the stereotypes. What are the factors leading to a riot? Who takes part? Are there particular characteristics of riots? Can we associate a precise political ideology with riots? To what extent are they strategic? Together, we will try to understand a bit better this form of rebellion. Presented by Marc-Andr? Cyr, anarchist activist. ---------- * All presentations in French, with whisper translation towards English. Childcare available on request (please phone 48 hours in advance).
