A recent court decision in Waterloo Region could have far-reaching consequences for homeless encampments across the province. @simaatri (@cjc_TO) tells @spaikin why, tonight at 8/11pm | Producer: @Mariasarrouh
Huge 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 to the brilliant Muslim woman Aziza on @TheCurrentCBC calling out the need to constantly put their pain and trauma on display without naming the actual structures like the War on Terror and torture that creates Islamophobia that are left unchallenged.
Call on @YWCAToronto to stop evicting its tenants. Join the hearing to support a community leader facing eviction for COVID arrears.

“Police are privacy security guards that landlords can call in at any time.” Goodwood and Crescent Town Tenant Union members remind us landlords, politicians and police are not here for us. Only tenants can defend each other. #NoCovidEvictions
Defund. Disarm. Dismantle. #DeFundThePolice #BlackLivesMatter #TOPoli
Another Indigenous woman’s life lost in New Brunswick. The police were called to do a mental health check. She was shot five times by police. Say her name. CHANTEL MOORE.
I wrote my arguments for y'all in an op-ed for HuffPo: "If we truly want to effect change that could stop police killings of Black people, we must have a conversation about defunding the police" #defundthepolice #blacklivesmatter huffingtonpost.ca/entry/defund-p…
‼️ BREAKING ‼️ Open letter from 47 organizations and 773 individuals calling for prisoners to be released and other measures to protect people behind bars from #COVID19! Courts may be closed but people continue to be arrested + imprisoned. #solidarity tinyurl.com/containcovidno…

I'm trained in law. There is no 'rule of law'. There are overlapping bodies of law. Laws are constantly changing. People with power ink laws. Resistance helps change unjust laws. Indigenous blockades are also legal orders. #Wetsuweten #WetsuwetenSolidarity #WetsuwenStrong

we're all on stolen land 👏 indigenous land defenders are fighting for their lives and for future generations - frontlines of climate justice and the rcmp will continue its colonial legacy to protect profit-driven resource extraction ..are we surprised? theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…
"Education Unions Launch Charter Challenge Against Ford Government" #OSSTF, @ETFOeducators, @OECTAProv, and @AEFO_ON_CA stand united in launching a court challenge to the Ford Government's unilateral public sector wage restraint legislation. bit.ly/2RHOhIZ
We have a "thoughtful and sensitive approach" for you, @JonathanWNV: 1) stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, 2) stop building pipelines on unceded Indigenous lands, and 3) use money sourced from taxing the rich to fund a Green New Deal. 😎 thestar.com/politics/feder…
We unite in solidarity with @osstf teachers gearing up for their strike tomorrow! We say NO to increased class sizes — cuts to education should not be on the bargaining table. @fordnation @Sflecce It’s your ruthless cuts that hurt kids, NOT strike action. #NoCutsToEducation

Blown away that after the Courts determined that there was no public interest in prosecuting me, @TPSOperations are out here pretending they didn't fucking arrest me in an encampment on the morning of an eviction, because I stood up for my homeless neighbours' right to housing
Fact Check: He wasn't criminally charged in relation to encampments & so there were no encampment charges to be withdrawn. On July 20/21, he was removed from Alexandra Pk for trespassing. It was then learned he was wanted on 3 outstanding criminal warrants and he was arrested.
