Appeal for Solidarity with UofT New College
A recent appeal from the IWW GMB Toronto email list:
Hi Everyone,
I met some of you at the Common Cause conference/various events and
know some of you are fellow students at the University of Toronto.
Yesterday, me and others organized a rally and sit-in at governing
council (Simcoe Hall) to demand an end to rent increases for New
College Residence as well as tuition and other fee increases. We
wanted dialogue, to speak with UofT president, David Naylor, in person
or on the phone. Instead, the administration called in the police to
violently remove students they are supposed to be accountable to.
This was disgraceful, especially considering we had a minor in the
crowd.
I am pleading for letters of solidarity as soon as possible, given the
lack of support from one reactionary careerist student union (The New
College Student Union), which not only disavowed our action but
claimed that they did not support our moves to bring in other issues,
including having speakers from New College workers. We need all the
support we can get in order to oppose the growing corporatization of
our campus/police brutality, and in support of making education
accessible to all.

Congolese Human Rights Advocate Justine Masika Bihamba is the director of "Synergie de Femmes Pour Les Victimes Des Violences Sexualles", which offers legal and medical assistance to women who have experienced sexual violence in the DRC.
You are invited to a special evening in Toronto in honour of the work Justine has done for women. There will be music and performances, and she will speak about her human rights work with women and children who are experiencing violence in the struggle for control over mining areas and trade routes for gold, diamonds, copper and the coltan used to power our cell phones and computers. Coltan is mined illegally, stolen and traded by armed rebels and mafia-like militias fueling violence against women and ongoing war. CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
There will be special performances by Lisa Patterson and Alex McMaster (Roam) and Lua Shayenne. A small marketplace of African and African Diasporan artisans will also be present.
Tuesday, April 15
7:00 pm
Ralph Thornton Centre - 3rd Floor (wheelchair-accessible)
765 Queen Street East
Toronto, Ontario
Admission is Free – Donations Gratefully Accepted!
Presented by Hope for Justine, Mother Outlaws ARM – York University, and Black Crafters Guild.
