On May 25, starting at 8 a.m., let's join the counter-protest to defend the humanity of trans youth!
This counter-demonstration is a response to the rally organized by Ensemble pour protéger nos enfants, un groupe qui s’oppose à « l’idéologie de genre » et à l’enseignement de l’éducation sexuelle dans les écoles sous le douteux prétexte de défendre les « droits parentaux », c’est-à-dire le contrôle des parents sur leurs enfants. C’est ce même groupe qui avait organisé les manifestations transphobes du 20 septembre et 21 octobre derniers. Leur rassemblement a lieu à 9h, arrivons avant elleux!
At a time when conservative or reactionary opposition to the rights of trans people continues to grow, we must once again reiterate our right and desire to exist. It's a struggle we must wage, not only for ourselves, but also for all the trans people who have fought for our liberation, and above all, for the future, fulfillment and self-determination of trans youth.
Comrades and allies, let's show up in numbers!
This event will take place near the liberated zone for Palestine at McGill University. We are in solidarity with Palestine and invite you to bring Palestinian flags.

A few reminders from the organizers :
- Arrive on time and stay as long as you can. We'll be on site until at least 1pm.
- If you can't make it until later, you're welcome too! We're likely to stay put
- Wear a mask! As a measure against COVID, but also to protect yourself from state surveillance and doxxing. A cap and sunglasses are also recommended.
- Come as a group if possible. You can also join one of the contingents that will be formed.
- Soyez attentiv-es à vos chants de manif! « Go home » est un chant islamophobe
- Avoid talking to transphobes, media or police.
- Bring a water bottle and things to make noise!
