On the 10th Annual International Day Against Police Brutality
Thursday March 15th
4:00pm
College and Lansdowne
Every day OCAP works hand in hand with communities that have been under attack by the Police. Under attack because they are poor, homeless, people of colour, First Nations or new immigrants. Under attack because it is the job of the police to maintain the power of the wealthy and upper class. When we struggle to improve our lives and the lives of our children and communities, it is these same police that attack us and keep us beaten down.
March 15th 2007 marks the 10th Anniversary of the International Day Against Police Brutality. A day to bring awareness to the violence, torture, intimidation and harassment inflicted on citizens' by our governments' Police Forces. A date set by the people, the victims, the survivors, to raise their voices to show that they won't stay silent!!
As part of this internationally observed day, a march and speak out has been organized for Thursday March 15th. We will be meeting at the southeast corner of College & Lansdowne and marching on to 14 Division headquarters. OCAP invites all people to come out and show support for those whose lives have been affected by the police and remember those whose lives were brutally ended by the police.
