Montreal Week Against Prisons (August 5-11)
August 10th marks Prisoners’ Justice Day, a day of mourning, remembrance and solidarity with those who have died behind bars. It was launched in 1975 when prisoners at the Millhaven Penitentiary staged a one-day hunger strike to commemorate the death of Edward Nalon, who had bled to death in an administrative segregation cell one year before. To this day, prisoners fast, and refuse to work in honor of those who have died in prison. On the outside, family, friends and allies hold rallies, vigils, and events to demand justice and dignity for prisoners.
PERVERS/CITÉ: the underside of pride (August 8-18)
Pervers/Cité is a collaboratively organized summer festival that aims to make links across social justice groups, queer communities, and radical visions of pride.
