<Hamilton FreeSkool!> a message from student solidarity

[Hamilton FreeSkool !]

this is a release from student solidarity hamilton please read carefully!



The current student strike in Quebec began in February of this past year,
and has evolved into one of the most powerful and vibrant social movements
in Canadian history. Lasting now for almost two hundred, boasting crowds of
more than 300 000, and holding at least one demonstration every single day,
this is a powerful image of a society in revolt, playing out in real time
just a short drive away.

However, coverage of the strike tends towards the sensational, and it's
very difficult to find reliable English-language news and commentary on the
situation. In response to this, three members of the the largest striking
student association in Quebec, la Coalition Large de l'Association pour une
Solidarité Syndicale Étudiante, or la CLASSE as it's better known, are
currently on a speaking tour through Ontario. They will be stopping in
Hamilton this Saturday, July 14, at 6pm in the council chambers of
Hamilton's city hall (on Main between Bay and MacNab) to discuss the
strike, the organizing that lead to it, and where it can go from here.

"If modern industrial education—and more broadly industrial
civilization—requires "the subsumption of the individual," that is, the
conversion of vibrant human beings into "automata," i.e., into a pliant
workforce, then the most revolutionary thing we can do is follow our
hearts, to manifest who we really are."
