Hello Rouge Squad members!
This is Kimber Heinz again with War Resisters League in New York City--we're the
group working on the campaign to ban tear gas, including tear gas made by Defense
Technologies, which has been used against strikers in Québec.
Just wanted to share with you some info about a solidarity action that we're planning
for August 13 to support the beginning of the "back to school" protests in
Montréal.
We're going to be targeting Defense Technologies, releasing information about tear
gas that's been used against strikers in Québec and other movements in recent years
(including about a successful past action against DT) and asking US supporters to flood
the phone lines of Defense Technologies about their sales to state forces in Québec.
If we created a graphic about the phone-in day in the US, would you be interested in
perhaps spreading it among your social networks (FB, Twitter, email, etc.) to let people
on your end know about the action? We're hoping that this may be one concrete way of
being in solidarity with the protests (for those of us who can't be there in person).
Let me know what you think when you get a chance. I am also reaching out to the
Collective Opposed to Police Brutality and to the Montréal medics team.
All my best,
Kimber
