when: September 9, 2010 at 4pm
where: at U of Ottawa, 129 Louis Pasteur room 285

facilitator: Stéfanie.

Sexual violence is everywhere: it’s on TV, it’s in our language, it’s in our fantasies—in fact, it is so omnipresent that we sometimes fail to see it at all. Rape culture is a term employed to describe the ways in which sexual violence is used as a tool of power and represented as normal and natural to train us to participate in it. During the workshop, we will explore how rape culture is based on gender roles, who rape culture hurts and who benefits from it. We will discuss ways to delearn and go beyond the violence.

Stéfanie is a support worker with the Coalition for a Carleton Sexual Assault Centre, a student group formed in 2007 with the purpose of creating a student-run, university funded sexual assault centre on Carleton’s campus. On March 22, 2010 they launched an independent, grassroots sexual assault support line for students, staff and faculty that operates from 8am – midnight, 7 days a week.

1) EXILE Infoshop is moving on!

Dear friends and comrades,

The EXILE collective has decided to focus on searching for a better, more
visible and accessible space. It’s been a constant learning experience
for the past 3 years, trying to keep a community space open and paying the rent to a profiteering landlord.

This means that the current EXILE Infoshop space on Bank Street will be
closing on Friday, July 30th. Many items will be on SALE (books, t-shirts,
posters, DVDs, ‘zines) until then.

Regardless of when and where the new space will be, the collective will
still be active and continue to table books and ‘zines at events. The
website will also be updated, so please continue to visit
http://www.exilebooks.org for news and events.

Thanks for your support and please continue to encourage your
collective-run community spaces. See you soon!

2) Important library reminder!

In light of our closing the current EXILE space, we ask that all materials
borrowed from the library be returned by July 29th.

We hope to find an interim space to house our lending library as we scout
for a new HQ for the infoshop, but if you have lent materials to the
lending library and would like to have them back, please contact us ASAP
so that we can retrieve them for you.
update 09 Aug 2010: you can return materials to Mary at City Tailors for now.

3) Party!

In appreciation of your ongoing support (and in hopes of milking even more of it!), we invite you to a final karaoke-style celebration at the current space, 256 Bank St (second floor) this weekend. The party is on Saturday, July 31st, and starts around 9pm. Come party your ass off as we blow this pop stand for TOTAL FREEDOM.

See you soon,

- the EXILE Infoshop collective

“Solidarity for our friends who are not free”
First batch of t-shirts, bags and patches now available at Exile.
All proceeds to Ottawa Movement Defense.

Common Cause and Exile Infoshop present a film:

LOCATION: Exile Infoshop
TIME: Thursday July 22, 7pm
BY DONATION: Proceeds to go to Ottawa Movement Defense and Toronto Movement Defense Committee to cover legal costs of June 18th and G20 defendants..

This 80-minute-long documentary that tells the story of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists who were accused of a murder in 1920, and executed in Boston in 1927 after a notoriously prejudiced trial. It is the first major documentary film about this landmark story.

The ordeal of Sacco and Vanzetti came to symbolize the bigotry and intolerance directed at immigrants and dissenters in America, and millions of people in the U.S. and around the world protested on their behalf. Nearly eighty years later, the story continues to have great
resonance, as America once again grapples with issues of civil liberties and the rights of immigrants.
