Join us this New Year’s Eve to send loud messages of solidarity to those spending the holidays behind bars, as we celebrate ongoing prisoner resistance and renew our commitment to fighting for a world without prisons!

✘ Come join us on December 31, 2018 at 4:30pm at Metro Henri-Bourassa on the corner of Lajeunesse and Boulevard Henri-Bourassa.
✘ We will be taking buses out to the prisons in Laval. There will be enough space for everyone on the buses and we encourage you to drive out with us. If you want to come with your own car, please come to the meeting spot at 4:30pm to get directions, or write us at: nyecontreprisons[@]riseup.net
✘ Dress warm (choose wool and fleece over cotton); bring something to make some noise, whistles, pots and pans, drums, banners, fireworks.
There will be a support vehicle for those who would like a ride during the demo. We will have extra warm clothes, snacks, and folks to walk with you to a bus station if you have to leave early. For questions regarding accessibility or anything else, email: nyecontreprisons[@]riseup.net

We fight against prisons because prisons are a cornerstone of the systems that oppress us and threaten those we love and care about. Prisons destroy communities. They lock up our loved ones. Prisons are a crucial part of the everyday arrangements of the colonial-capitalist settler state and society. The threat of prison is used to confine, control, and isolate people. Prisons perpetuate systemic injustice. Indigenous people, people of colour, and poor people are consistently targeted for imprisonment. Indigenous women continue to be sent to prison at ever increasing rates. Prisons are used to confine migrants facing deportation. For that reason, they work to reinforce state borders and global systems of inequality.
