Desmond Cole on Anti-Black Racism in Canada & US

The whole world is rethinking its approach to policing. Police forces were created to be occupying armies, slave catchers, and plains clearers, and this historic uprising has made it clear that reforms will not solve the problems of police violence and anti-black racism. This revolutionary moment is allowing us to reimagine what's possible and enact transformative changes in our communities.

Defunding the police allows us to redirect resources away from services the police were never intended to perform in the first place, towards services that promote health and well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that we can house homeless people instead of sending police to ticket and harass them. We can respond to people having mental health crises with professionals trained in de-escalation and emergency mental health support. We can make sure sex workers are protected and not victimized by police. We can fix our criminal justice system that completely fails in the context of sexual violence. And by doing these things we can make our communities safer and healthier for everyone.

Law And Disorder | Defund The Police

In Episode 60, Kanien'kehá:ka warrior Ellen Gabriel talks to us about the importance of protecting Haudenosaunee lands and sovereignty. She also updates us about the Town of Oka's intentions to dig up their lands without their permission.

Ellen was chosen by the People of the Longhouse and her community of Kanehsatà:ke to be their spokesperson during the 1990 “Oka” Crisis; to protect the Pines from the expansion of a 9 hole golf course in “Oka” and the removal of Kanien’kehá:ka ancestors from their burial grounds.

Here is the link to their letter and petition to stop the dig on their lands:
