Why Do We Wear #Masks?
We cover our faces and conceal our appearances for the simple reason that we have no need to be identified. In this world where cameras sit on every other street corner, where the police, #CSIS and #RCMP use every chance to #profile us and to build up files on our activities, where participation in #socialstruggle or public #demonstrations can compromise our #freedom and ability to act in the future, we see no reason to make their jobs easier for them. Just as we refuse to cooperate with police #interrogations and police #investigation, we’re also going to make it as hard as we can for the systems of social control to crack down and break us. Developing a practice of (partial) #anonymity in situations we choose opens up space for participating in actions for folks who would otherwise be risking too much be it #legal status, #immigration status, or #employment. Not only does it make profiling more difficult, but it also helps to keep people out of police custody. Wearing masks won’t get us home safely all the time, but it does disrupt routine repression and social control.
It is time we break them Instead of letting them break us!
