Red-light rally at Café Cleopatra

As mentioned in a previous post [1], a coalition is forming to protest the proposed “revitalization [2]” of the lower Main, and the destruction of Café Cleopatra and much of the red-light district. For those who are interested in supporting a more democratic approach to revamping this space, there will be a “Friends of Cabaret Cleo” rally event happening on Saturday, June 6, starting at 8 PM at the cabaret (1230 St-Laurent, 2nd floor). Attendees will be able to sign a petition (also available online [3] and in PDF format [4], if you want to collect signatures beforehand), and there will be lectures, entertainment and performances, so if you can come on out, you should!
For more info on the rally, check out the Club Sin [5] website, read Louis Rastelli’s article in the Montreal Mirror [6], or join the Red Alert! group on Facebook [7].
