A Struggle: Searching for Space in Jane Finch
DOCUMENTARY SCREENING AND PANEL DISCUSSION
Join us this #MayDay for a documentary screening and panel discussion about the struggles facing a racialized working class community in search of communal spaces.

Let's talk about last night! The fundraiser and gala organized by red_maat (on Insta) for Sudan was a huge success. It was a beautiful display of culture and solidarity, and I was honoured to participate alongside ر ت ت ت Toronto4Palestine Andrea Vásquez Jiménez and so many others. 1/

Today is the International Day to #EndCorporalPunishment —something that is still legal in CA

We call-for-solidarity for Peter Julian’s Bill C-273 to end corporal punishment

📢Write to your MP to support the repeal of section 43 of the criminal code

📣Accountability is essential and the Recall Act (Bill 52) gives Albertans a way to remove elected officials.

my file on today's deeply cynical move by Julie Kusiek as a parent of an epsb student and someone who supported kusiek because of her promise to keep SROs out of schools i was very frustrated today.
actions have consequences -- i will be organizing a recall campaign.

NEW: Julie Kusiek breaks promise to keep cops out of schools, is deciding vote to bring them back. #epsb #yegcc theprogressreport.ca/julie_kusiek_b…

The result of todays thread is this story: Julie Kusiek breaks promise to keep cops out of schools, is deciding vote to bring them back theprogressreport.ca/julie_kusiek_b…

This is shameful. The exact opposite of allyship. Clearly all the ‘antiracist’ & ‘inclusive’ performance was superficial at best when student voices and experiences can be so easily dismissed. A dark day for EPSB.

📣We know that across so-called Canada, police violence in educational spaces continues to happen. That is why an #AssaultAt Canada Map & Reporting Tool at Policing-Free Schools is under the works to track police violence in schooling & educational spaces

Based on no empirical evidence that SROs improve school safety. That was not disputed by the speakers and EPSB.

If you want to get the key details of today’s board meeting that voted to put police back in schools, see this thread here.

Thank you to Trustees Saadiq Sumar (he/him) , Trisha Estabrooks (she/her) , and Marcia Hole | she/her for taking a principled stance based on evidence and for doing what those made most vulnerable by oppressive systems needed.

Your work and the words you said today spoke the truth and showed integrity.

At a time when the UCP is becoming aggressively anti-democratic & wanting to mess with local level elections, & where far right fascists want to take over school boards in Alberta, our Board decides to put police back in schools with no oversight power.

What could go wrong? 🧐
