We will watch a short documentary about the student uprising in Montreal in the spring of 2012. After this we will have a discussion with some people who were involved with previous UvA occupations.
This is a chance for us to learn from the past & strategise about the future of our movement. If you have any discussion points you want to propose you can write us an email at autonomousstudentstruggle@protonmail.com


Street politics 101: In the spring of 2012, a massive student strike in opposition to a tuition hike, rocked the streets of Montréal for over six months. Protests and mass direct-action on the street became part of daily and nightly reality. Several times during the tumultuous spring, the numbers in the streets would reach over one hundred thousand. Police routinely clubbed students and their allies, and arrested them by the hundreds. Some were even banned from entering the city. But every time the cops struck, the student movement got bigger and angrier. This is a story about how the arrogance of a government underestimated a dedicated group of students, who through long-term organising, laid the foundation for some of the largest mass demonstrations in Canada’s history.
