Demonstrations calling for a ceasefire in Gaza are scheduled to take place in 30-plus Canadian cities on Saturday, including Montreal.
Protestors will gather at Place-des-Arts around 2 p.m., demanding "an immediate ceasefire," a "lifting [of] the siege on Gaza" and "an end to Canada's complicity in the genoicide," according to organizers.
The rally will occur in conjunction with a march in Washington D.C., which is expected to draw tens of thousands.
"Let's show the world that we are not just people in solidarity with Palestine, we are a movement that will rise from every corner of the world until all our demands are met," reads the Facebook page for the Montreal event.
The protests, organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement, come nearly one month after the deadly Hamas attack on Israel.
Since then, Israeli forces have launched repeated airstrikes, laid siege to Gaza, and restricted food, water and other supplies into the territory.
More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, most in the Oct. 7 attack, and 242 hostages have been taken into Gaza, according to The Associated Press.
