Montreal North residents are organizing the 3rd edition of the Social Forum Hoodstock entitled this year "Black Summit", to denounce anti-black racism and particularly police brutality against black people.

Over the course of the editions, Hoodstock has become a unifying, citizen and constructive event that builds bridges between communities. It is an event that raises the awareness of the struggles against all forms of discrimination, abuse and inequality and helps to channel the forces in order to find solutions and allow the population to organize itself. Hoodstock is also a space to freely address issues of our neighbourhood.

Lecturers and artists from around the world: Brazil, Haiti, United States, France and Quebec are on the agenda to celebrate cultural diversity.

A special place is devoted to children with a space for creation, awareness and learning. On the menu: workshops, games, readings and youth conferences, accessible to all.

A rendezvous not to be missed : Saturday, August 13 from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. at Henri-Bourassa Park, Montreal
