But they're not hiding anymore. The Tri-Cities homeless community is coming together to say WE EXIST! Join the rally on June 13th to say no to police harassment, no to social isolation and overdose death, and yes to homeless power and homes for all! facebook.com/events/3519535…

Case closed: the question now is whether the Settler imagination is even capable of contemplating Canada's genocidal foundations and a shared, negotiated path out of it.

Canada is built on genocide: "Continuous policy w/shifting expressed motives but ultimately steady intention, to destroy Indigenous peoples physically, biologically & as social units, thereby fulfilling required specific intent element" #MMIWG #MMIWG2S cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

Holding close all #MMIWG2s whose spirits live within us. For their families & loved ones. fellow settlers (especially white ppl) in relation, in struggle, in service to Indigenous Peoples, we must be unequivocal - Gendered colonial violence is genocide. Canada is genocide.

No more leftism that isnt structurally anti-colonial "Genocide driven by disproportionate level of violence faced by Indigenous women and girls occurred in Canada through state actions and inactions rooted in colonialism." #MMIW #MMIWG2S #cdnpoli #vanre cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

Public services have been found to reduce income inequality by an average of 20%. We've been talking about universal basic incomes. What about universal basic services? Check out new @NEF report

One of the richest men in Canada. This billionaire's wealth is built on exploitation of migrant farmworking women. “Mr. Aquilini told them if they don’t work and bring 15 pounds of blueberries, he wouldn’t let them have water." #cdnpoli #canlab #Canucks citynews1130.com/2019/05/28/gua…

New data shows that the number of active white supremacist groups in Canada has DOUBLED over the last three years. Enough of single-issue organizing; anti-racism is not a side or secondary or wedge issue. We need to make it *central* and relevant to all our work. #cdnpoli
