Yesterday marked six years since the death of #AbdirahmanAbdi at the hands of the @OttawaPolice.

We remember him and today and every day commit to fighting for a just and inclusive city where we invest in real community safety that doesn't involve police.

May she rest in peace. Her work meant so much to me and I am sure to many racialized women. #bellhooks

The tobacco industry’s exploitation of the Black community has a long & documented history. A national ban on menthol could help address health disparities & save lives. Read how via @TB_Times @margoasnipe

The tobacco industry has targeted the Black community for decades while trying to position themselves as allies in the fight for social justice. See how the industry is now using these tactics to fight the menthol ban via @HuffPost @c_m_dangelo.

A collective sigh of relief.
A temporaneous time to breathe.

An inhale for the ancestors.
An exhale for the children.

It’s not celebration.
It’s not calm.
It’s not solace.
It’s not peace.
It’s not even justice.

It’s just a moment to pause.
A moment to cry.
A moment to grieve.
