@_aisthename Pretty much everything except text books or encyclopedias. Here’s a list of specific kinds of books we’d like.

[Bar None Winnipeg @BarNoneWpg]

WE NEED BOOKS! Drop them off this week at Millennium or St. J libraries, Eadha, or Thyme.

We would love to work alongside everyone who wants a true community-based, decolonial, abolitionist Portage Place <3

[Bar None Winnipeg @BarNoneWpg]

For the record, we were invited by True North Real Estate to a mtg about Portage Place! LOL It is our view that TN will displace & police people at PP no matter what & whoever participates will be named as a 'partner' when they try to justify their bullshit, so we'd rather not.

People need rides to visit their loved ones in prisons outside Winnipeg, are you available to give them? Gas reimbursements are available if that’s a barrier https://t.co/gZQDqmojIZ

Manitoba inmates 'sitting ducks' as virus surges https://t.co/gse4mFjxyn

[Bar None Winnipeg @BarNoneWpg]

“The Manitoba government did not have any more information to provide on the Headingley Correctional Centre and said they would only make a further announcement if there was any risk to the public.”

It’s outrageous that it needs to be said but: imprisoned people are the public

Manitoba's new premier oversaw the privatization of the phone system in jails to a Texas-based company in 2016 while justice minister, a decision that resulted in greatly increased costs for prisoners ($3 per 15 mins) and calls being dropped with lawyers.

We are raising funds to support the family of prisoner justice advocate Cory Cardinal, as they prepare for his funeral.

Let us through this small act,
remember what he fought endlessly for,
to take care of our relatives,
to take care of each other
