*[We are re-launching our $5x5000 campaign to raise money for the
Quebec-based G20 Legal Fund. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far.
If you want to support the Quebec-based G20 defendants, we strongly
encourage you to raise money, $5 at a time, by passing the hat at upcoming
events or meetings, and sending the money directly to the address below. You
can also visit one of the many black box locations in Montreal [google map:
http://bit.ly/gsfOIX] or Quebec City. The $5x5000 campaign will continue
until June 26, 2011, the one-year anniversary of the G20 resistance in
Toronto. More information below.]*

*[For people reading this appeal from outside Quebec, we encourage your
contributions to the alternative G20 Legal Fund organized by the Guelph
(Ontario) Anarchist Black Cross (ABC). This fund is an accessible alternate
fund for G20 arrestees, mostly those facing serious charges. The fund is for
immediate short-term needs of the defendants. More details about this fund,
in English, are available here:

*Contribute to the G20 Legal Defence Fund in Québec!
Our solidarity is stronger than their repression*

*The G20 Legal Defence Fund in Quebec continues to raise money in support of
all people facing charges in relation to the anti-G20 protests in Toronto in
June 2010.

The Fund considers that all arrests occurred in the context of a legitimate
struggle against the capitalist policies of the G20, and that all charges
should be dropped immediately.

The G20 Legal Defence fund is managed by a group of six local
anti-capitalist community organizers who are not facing legal charges
themselves, and will ensure that legal funds are properly disbursed.*

*5000 x $5: A campaign to raise $25,000 for the Quebec G20 Legal Defense
Fund, $5 at a time.*

In the aftermath of the largest mass arrests in Canadian history during the
G20 in Toronto, many dozens of protesters still face charges. Charges have
been withdrawn against the bulk of people who were arrested from Quebec,
revealing the arbitrary and repressive nature of the arrests in the first
place. However, several Quebec-based community organizers, activists and
residents are still facing serious charges. They are living under house
arrest conditions, face several years of judicial proceedings, and face jail
time. Their charges will not be withdrawn any time soon, and certainly not
without a serious legal and political battle.

Our strength in the face of this police and state repression is our
solidarity. And one tangible way to show your solidarity is to contribute to
the G20 Legal Defence Fund (le Fonds de défense légale des accusé(e)s du
G20).

We know that the overwhelming majority of us can’t afford to donate much
money from our limited to non-existent incomes. But, collectively, many of
us can chip in $5 (or a little more). We’re hoping up to 5000 of you can do
so, so that together we can meet the goal of raising $25,000.

The Quebec-based G20 Legal Defence Fund is prioritizing meeting the legal
expenses of all individuals facing criminal charges and potential jail time
(and/or deportation) related to the G20 protests in Toronto. The fund is
based on the principle that no accused should plead guilty or feel obliged
to plea-bargain based on the lack of funds or resources. The Fund considers
that all arrests occurred in the context of a legitimate struggle against
the capitalist policies of the G20, and that all charges should be dropped
immediately.

The G20 Legal Defence fund is managed by a group of six local
anti-capitalist community organizers who are not facing legal charges
themselves, and will ensure that legal funds are properly disbursed.

 Since we’re asking for $5 at a time, we ask that you visit one of our
“black boxes” located all over Montreal to make a donation. The black box
sites include:
