Breach of Peace

As we discuss and draw lessons from recent police actions at student encampments, peaceful protests and marches for genocide, it becomes clear exactly who is breaching the peace.

McGill students escalated their actions and occupied a building on campus, while York University students finished setting up their encampment. Both had the police set on on them by the very people tasked with ensuring their safety. We talk about anarchist organizing, the need for backup plans, and remind folks to never trust these University Presidents.

The discussion then moves to the Walk for Israel and the arrest of counter-protestors for breach of peace. This is contrasted with the egregious police violence at a Toronto rally that same weekend, where they stole a large Palestinian flag.

Beyond getting mad - our hosts provide constructive takeaways for organizers everywhere. They provide, Blueprints of Disruption.
