Demand that City of Ottawa Drop Fines Against Pro-Palestinian Protesters
Join Palestinian Youth Movement, Independent Jewish Voices, and Labour 4 Palestine in emailing city councillors and mayor Mark Sutcliffe to push against the unjust fines issued by the City of Ottawa bylaw at our protest last weekend (December 23, 2023).
Last Saturday at the 11th consecutive pro-Palestine weekend rally, City of Ottawa Bylaw issued almost $1500 worth of fines to protesters using speakers and megaphones.
This is despite organizers having used the same sound system for the previous 10 weekends of protests with no prior issues.
This was a clear undemocratic, racist, and politically motivated move by the city of Ottawa to attempt to suppress and silence pro-Palestinian organizing.
