Le premier mai anticapitaliste, organisé depuis plus d’une quinzaine d’années par la Convergence des luttes anticapitalistes (CLAC), a été l’objet d’une répression brutale, ponctuée d’agressions violentes par les agents du SPVM, et ce avant même que la manifestation ait pu débuter. En effet, les policiers ont provoqué les manifestant·e·s en s’introduisant dans le rassemblement afin de photographier les participant·e·s, ce qui constitue de l'intimidation. Rappelons-le : le droit de manifester est protégé par les Chartes des droits et libertés.

As you probably know, many class action for arrests that happen between 2012 and 2015 have led to a deal with the city of Montréal in which 6 million dollors were given out to arrestees. And, what a coincidence, we are in many of those class action and we know that the cheques are starting to flow in.
The Legal Self-Defense Committee of the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC) is getting its Legal Self-Defense Fund back together. The fund aims to support people who are victims of police or legal repression for alleged acts committed in the context of individual or collective actions with an anti-capitalist, feminist, anti-colonial or anti-racist scope.

On November 27th, at 2PM, at the corner of Dorchester/Greene (Atwater metro), the Convergence des luttes anticapitalistes (CLAC) is calling for a demonstration in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en people of British Columbia, who are fighting the canadian colonial state.
The Convergence des luttes anticapitalistes (CLAC) denounces the violent repression of its demonstration again this year. Indeed, the SPVM proceeded, as usual, to unjustified and brutal arrests. The police used truncheons and tear gas to silence the people who are tired of being exploited every day to enrich the nauseating bourgeoisie and their companies that profit from COVID-19. Several people were injured and the police even destroyed the cell phone of one participant.
This past MayDay, like each year for over a century, was the International Workers' Day. Despite being confined, many people took action to redecorate the city. The situation might seem grim, but there are still a few positive observations we can make.
The air in our city is clearer that it has been for over a century. Oil consumption slows down and greenhouse gases production diminishes. For many people, being confined is an opportunity to review our unhealthy relationship with work within an hyperperformist and hyperproductivist society.
A banner that reads:
"Essential: Health workers, delivery people, cashiers
Non essential: Landlords, bankers, bosses
May Day 2020: Celebrate the workers. Destroy capitalism"
