Just arrived in Lacolle, QC to join Saron Gebresellassi - People's Lawyer to witness and support Hatian asylum seekers fleeing the US.
Whole families are being detained in trailers and denied their Charter right to speak to legal counsel.
This is @JustinTrudeau's welcome.
Approximately 50 Haitians are arrested per day. About 16,000 total have been detained. This must be one of the largest mass arrests in Canadian history.

Six years! Six years of struggle, of community, of love, of wins, of life in this city. So much has happened since we began that cold November day 6 years ago- campaigns, rallies, marches, occupations, demands, artworks, the city changing. Today we continue our fight for all Black lives to matter- to be considered inherently valuable. We deserve freedom, justice, and to live. We will never stop fighting until we are all free. Black! Lives! Matter!
Check out this conversation with Skylar and folks at 1492 LandBack Lane. The team there is prepping for winter and ongoing threats of violence from the state.
Indigenous resurgence now and always. There will never be justice for Black people on occupied land. Justice and power to the land defenders, today and always!
Black trans, non binary and gender non-conforming people, we love you. This is a love letter from us to us, with some words from those fighting alongside us to ensure the all #BlackTransLivesMatter . Thank you to Ayo Tsalithaba this incredible video creation. Thank you to LAL for the use of the song “Close”. TURN ON CAPTIONS as needed!
Join us to create a #NewNarrative for our community. ...
