“They don't rehabilitate people ... [they] create inhumane conditions that result in exponential increases of suffering," she said.” End
“Hopperton and Mills said the formal and informal processes are so ineffective that they discourage inmates from making complaints. They said inmates also fear going to the sergeant due to potential reprisal. “Most people don't complain; they just experience terrible things," 5/
“She also said there was almost no access to dental care. "People are peeling threads out of their sheets to floss their teeth." Hopperton also said she remembers passing out in a transport van because it was so hot.” 4/

Thank you to current and former prisoners and @djnontario for all the work you do. Prisoners have rights. Those are inalienable. Here are some outtakes from this must read article. Reading is necessary but not sufficient action. 2/

Option 3: rent control Your government could get this done in less than a week. For free. Rent has tripled in my lifetime, your government is choosing to make this crisis worse. Your government is choosing murder.
We have two choices. We can sit back and ignore Ontario's housing crisis or we can build more homes. Our government is choosing to build.
The Hamilton Civic Leadership Program is back this week with part 2 of “Community Organizing 101”! We are excited to continue our conversation with Ahona and Sahra from @djnontario this Thursday! 🎉 #civicleadership #hamont #youthleadership
📢 Urgent Call to Action 📢 We Black communities of Ontario, demand unwavering support for Anti-Racism work and dismantling systemic racism. Together, let's create a province that values every individual, regardless of race or background. #NOTYOURSCAPEGOAT
Anti-racist education is essential in preventing harm and violence against our children and the most vulnerable members of all racialized communities. We are asking you, our community and allies to join us in demanding more from our province. #NOTYOURSCAPEGOAT
