[Sanctuarycity_hamilton] Fwd: THESE WALLS WILL FALL! Protest-Concert for #MigrantStrike

[Caitlin Craven]

Hi folks,

Here's the call out from NOII for the event in Toronto on Sept 17th.  Looks
like they decided to make it a concert in the evening.  I'm debating about
going, but most likely won't be able to.  I'll let Hussan know that we're
planning to do some outreach on the 18th.

cheers,
Caitlin

On September 17, 2013, 191 migrants jailed in a Lindsay maximum-security
prison went on hunger strike against their endless detention without trial
or charge. Over the last year, despite being locked in cages, their
resistance has continued
<http://guelphpeak.org/news-updates/2014/07/end-immigration-detention/>.
They have boycotted their detention reviews, refused to go on lock down,
and refused unjust prison orders. As a result, strike leaders have been
deported, faced coercion and fines while some have been released. They
continue.

On the outside, we have mobilized to support. We have beaten down the doors
of immigration enforcement headquarters
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIZ12KDH9HI&list=PLH-xnh1y-tyXJsmntoFuOw-30NGlsBKYR>,
we have shown corruption in the detention review process
<http://endimmigrationdetention.com/2014/09/03/these-walls-will-fall-protest-concert-for-migrantstrike/www.truthaboutdetention.com>,
and we have even won a case at the United Nations
<http://endimmigrationdetention.com/2014/07/24/untocanada/>.

On September 17th, we gather to celebrate and to remember. We will come
together as families and friends of those jailed without an end in sight.
We will strengthen our struggle to overthrow prisons and border controls
that separate, detain and deport us. We will pledge our commitment to
fighting alongside Indigenous nations asserting sovereignty. We will insist
these walls must fall. AND WE WILL DANCE.
