One year after the G20 protests in downtown Toronto, the gross excess of police intimidations, interrogations and arrests are hardly a distant memory for activists who rallied to bring attention to the pressing economic and social inequalities of our time -- or for Toronto residents who found themselves caught up in one of the biggest mass arrests in Canadian history -- all while world leaders gathered to negotiate our collective global future behind closed doors.
Calls for a public inquiry into police action during the G20 have continued to go unheeded, despite the plethora of individual stories that continue to emerge detailing police abuse.
On Saturday, June 25, 2011 many will gather at Queen's Park in Toronto to reflect on those days that marked an unprecedented degree of infringement of individual civil liberties and fundamental freedoms, and work to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Find the details here.
