The BLOCK THE EMPIRE anti-imperialist contingent marched through the streets of downtown Montreal on October 28, as part of a pan-Canadian day of protest against the presence of Canadian troops in Afghanistan.
Despite the heavy rain, at least 500 people joined the BLOCK THE EMPIRE Anti-Imperialist Contingent, starting in Parc Norman Bethune and ending at the Complexe Guy-Favreau federal government buildings.
We marched in opposition to war at home and abroad, and against US/Canadian imperialism.

Block the Empire-Montreal is an anti-authoritarian, direct-action collective opposed to war and militarization, and their roots and manifestations: colonialism, imperialism and capitalism. We seek to expose the links between capitalist globalization and patriarchy, racism and all forms of oppression, both here and abroad. Our work locally aims to disrupt and directly impact the interests of those who are actively complicit in these systems, from companies who fuel and profit from war and occupation, to the supporters and outposts of US Empire and the Canadian state. We endorse the People's Global Action (PGA) hallmarks, and we act in direct solidarity with all those on the frontlines of resistance and struggle against occupation and exploitation - from those resisting the racist "War on Terror" in the Middle East, Latin America, Africa and Asia, to the struggle for indigenous sovereignty here on Turtle Island (occupied North America).
