Liz’s Comments to all the people that stood up for the environment during the June 25 weekend; here’s some help if you encountered police.

From the Organizers:
In continuation of our Summit Legal Support Project, the Movement Defence
Committee (MDC) of the Law Union of Ontario invites you to a public info
session on your options for taking post-g8/g20 legal action.

Join us on August 8 to learn about:
- how to file a human rights claim
- the police complaints process
- how you can sue the police
- the class action lawsuit(s) (that are currently in discussion)

Please register as soon as possible at http://tinyurl.com/g20legal

Purpose of Info Session: To provide basic legal information about how each
of these legal processes work, how to file claims, and who to contact for
further information.

The agenda will be posted on the MDC website (http://movementdefence.org) with a
specific time provided for each type of legal process that we will cover.
This will hopefully allow you to better plan your Sunday afternoon.

things to do for anyone who may have grounds for a lawsuit or a complaint,
or who witnessed a potential complaint, and who has not yet consulted with
a lawyer about it. Please check www.movementdefence.org for these
important details.

Co-hosted by the Summit Legal Support Project of the Movement Defence
Committee (MDC) and the Law Union of Ontario.
