On Nov 10th, we held a workshop on how to file Freedom of Information Act requests. Here's the information from the handout we created for the workshop.

Solidarity Showcase Report!

Last Friday we raised $85 for the Toronto G20 arrestees!

Insurgent Theatre (that is, Kate and I) also made an announcement that we'll be matching funds for the first $300 raised at one of these events. Read our statement about that here.

OCTOBER SOLIDARITY SHOWCASE

Are you ready for another night of sharing radical talents with friends while raising funds for people standing up to state repression? You know we are!

[NOTE: the RNC 8  have escaped trial and no longer need funds. The showcase will still happen, we'll still have tons of info about the RNC 8, but the money will go to the Toronto G20 defense instead (and we'll have info about them too)]

Tues Sept 28th- Workshops

Yesterday was the security culture and conspiracy charges workshop at the spore. We had a good turnout and the discussion made all the research and rehearsing worthwhile.
