From Greda Canada:
A large popular movement against Hate, Racism and the Far-right is organizing a mass demonstration on the streets of Montréal. This Sunday, November 12, the rallying point is at Place Émilie Gamelin, Métro Berri-UQAM, at 2 PM, at the corner of Ste-Catherine Street and Berri Street. As of November 8, 163 groups from all horizons have joined and supported the mass demonstration of this Sunday.
A growing movement of support
Following the press conference held on November, 1st, there has been a growing numbers of groups joining in the efforts to create a large community response to Hate and Racism.
Following the event, a series of meetings, forums were held to gather more support from the various communities to this important event. With the rise of racism and prejudices, we have also seen Far-right groups coming out of their virtual world. They try to have a presence in the public space by staging demonstrations, having meetings and sometime even assaulting members of visible minorities. We need to put a STOP to Hate and Racism. We need to build bridges in order to develop a large community based response to Hate and Bigotry. This demonstration is an important step in building such community response to defend our democratic and social rights. Here is the listing of the 163 groups endorsing the event, as of November, 8, 2017;
