It’s a one-man ride service for indigenous people in Winnipeg, and while Pernell Flett isn’t asking for money, he is collecting passengers’ stories.

“Some of them tell how cab drivers try to touch them, feel them up and take them places they don’t want to be,” Flett said of the indigenous people he drives around the city.

“A lot of them won’t speak out about it; they’re too scared to say anything about it.”

Flett started Neechi Rides on Dec. 15. It’s a ride service that he offers for free, and it is run out of his own pocket.

“When I watch the news at nighttime and see all the problems … I told my girlfriend, ‘You know what? I’m going to do something about this.’”

This man needs help in order to ensure the safety of our Native Women living in Winnipeg, and yet, just because he’s offering a safe ride for our Native people, he’s been the target of harassment and threats. We need to support our people who are doing the best they can!

A California family is demanding answers after it says the negligence of staff at San Joaquin General Hospital led to the death of a 15-year-old girl.

They just decided to ignore her. She was beautiful, young, energetic, she was a cheerleader and we lost her, because someone decided not to do his job properly.

She was complaining about an ongoing chest pain for two weeks, so she went to see a doctor, who told her she’ll be fine and gave her antibiotics. After a few days she returned, because she was  not feeling any better and the answer was the same “You’ll be fine“.

“She felt nobody is helping her and she didn’t really understand what was going through her body, but she knew something wasn’t right,”her grandmother said .

And then everything went horribly wrong. Here’s what she texted to her mother : “I NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL, I JUST PASSED OUT, I’M THROWING UP NOW,” the message read.

“My granddaughter was walking around suffering from these blood clots for a period of two weeks and us not knowing that these were going to be her last days” . The question is why didn’t they help her? For some reason they felt like she was faking it or smth.Could the same thing happen to a white girl? When white people feel sick the whole hispital staff is there to help, but when it’s about black people we see the same story over and over again.
