#indigenoussolidarity

Canada Day? Nah...fck that! Cancel that shit!! #indigenoussolidarity Trigger warning residential schools! Thousands of Indigenous bodies have been found across the country, And they are finding more every week. There should be no celebrations right now in this country. Let’s remember and honour those babies who never made it home, and honour the ones who did that have to now carry this trauma. I encourage everyone to wear orange on Canada day and show your support. A trauma help line is available in my bio for anyone who needs help #native #indigenous #canadaday #cancelcanadaday Reposted from @notoriouscree https://www.instagram.com/p/CQoCaKKHXoq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thankful to the ancestors on this one, along with corona virus, and the hard work and momentum of the BLM movement and allies. The coalition we have been organizing with for the past few months are grateful to the cycling community who stood in solidarity and held conversations and organized with them on the #namethechange and #changethename campaign. While we are hopeful for the changes that will come for the event with this fresh start, we want to stress that all was asked for in our advocacy was for the slur to stop being used. Our coalition is grateful the name is going to be changed. We’d also like to highlight that the event has pivoted from using the slur and now refers to it as DK till the change is officially made. We'd like to suggest to the community to also put an end of the use of the slur related to this event in shops/media/print, it is a racial slur, even if the intent wasn't harm for this event, history shows us the slur was used for harm and is still hurtful to Kanza members. . Till the name is officially changed - the coalition intends to keep the petition up and asks for solidarity on not printing, saying, or selling merch with the slur. Also an apology to Kaw members and allies should not fall short of this moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Again, thank you community for your advocacy and solidarity. Please visit the website and petition to learn more about the work and advocacy behind the #namethechange #changethename campaign. One day I will tell you a story about how the water, eagel and four snakes who came to help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://namethechange.com/ https://www.change.org/p/dirty-kanza-name-the-change-dk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #namethechange #changethename #bikesforblacklivesmatter #indigenoussolidarity #skoden #indigenoussolidaritywithblacklivesmatter #culturalappropriation #cyclingindustry #cycling #gravelrace https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWaYWxlCqv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reposted from @torontofac REPOST FROM @wetsuweten_checkpoint “I watched video after video of commercial fishermen destroying the property of #Mikmaq fishermen. The rcmp stood by and watched. A boat and van were both burned. Paint thinner was poured over lobster crates. Boards with nails in them were laid down (to pop tires). The rcmp stood by and allowed it all to happen. • • We have seen countless people arrested in relation to #1492LandBackLane - reporters, mothers who were bringing food out to them, and people who were just on their own territories. • • We have heard of the calls for assistance for the Algonquin #MooseMoratorium - with hunters sneaking in from other areas, saying they won’t be stopped. • • The Secwepemc @kanahus.tattoos have faced ongoing police harassment for asserting their right to say no to TransMountain - which is about to destroy riverways & run bitumen through their unceded territories. • • We, the Wet’suwet’en have the rcmp escorting in coastal Gaslink workers - even though our chiefs have continually asserted that there will be no pipelines in our territories. The test drilling that is happening will jeopardize everything downstream from us. We are seeing mass destruction and a huge influx of transient workers - putting our women, girls, and 2 spirit community members at risk. • • We need to all stand together... all allies need to step to the front & let the colonial government know that these infringements on inherent Indigenous rights are not acceptable. • • When people say “what can we do?”... well, we have seen that the most effective actions have been direct actions. Letter writing & campaigns have not been working... we need feet in the street, and all hands on deck. • • The colonial government will allow these violations of rights to continue to occur until enough noise is made. • • We need to all stand together. We need to stand with ALL Nations & communities that are under attack right now. Plot. Plan. Strategize. Organize. Mobilize. • • #IndigenousSolidarity” (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGgUk-4guzt/?igshid=1tmapy325kty1

The Toronto police budget is currently $1 Billion, the single biggest line item in our city’s budget. If you want to see the need for policing decrease, resources need to be reallocated to services that can deal with issues that the police simply cannot: housing, education, compassionate mental health support, and much more. Call your govt. Demand change.
