Autonomous Neighbourhood Assemblies!

Autonomous neighborhood assemblies continue to be organized all over Montreal (and beyond). These grassroots efforts came together in the context of Quebec’s ongoing student general strike, as well as the neighborhood casseroles protests organized in defiance of the special law against student organizing and protests. QPIRG Concordia strongly supports the efforts to organize autonomous and democratic neighborhood assemblies, and we’ll be using this space to compile information about upcoming assemblies.

Community Statement: Solidarity with the Quebec Student General Strike

WE SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN OF ECONOMIC DISRUPTION

March 26, 2012, Montreal — This week, Quebec students escalate their tactics, building on almost one month of a general strike, and last Thursday’s massive demonstration against the Charest government tuition hikes.
The ongoing strike and Thursday’s historic demonstration are a starting point, not an end, as many student organizers have pointed out. The upcoming week of disruptive actions is especially important.
We are writing to support the Coalition Large de l’Association pour une Solidarité Syndicale Étudiante (CLASSE) who have called for a week of economic disruption (now a campaign) to pressure the Charest government to cancel the tuition hikes. We agree that it’s not just through symbolic protests and actions – which are important to build solidarity and support – that the Charest government will capitulate. Rather, they will respond to the sustained and tangible disruption of the Quebec economy.
