In Canada, your right to write about personal experiences is robustly protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, section 2(b), which guarantees "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication."

It is always hardest for me to write about stalking. Somehow, those experiences violated me in such a distinct way that diluting them into language is more difficult. This is a piece I finally wrote about the woman who stalked me for over four years.

May 3 is a day of refusal kicking off #AbolitionMay.

No emails. No classes. No work. No university labor. NO COPS ON CAMPUS. But we breathe life into refusal. Some things to say YES to:

[Robyn Maynard @policingblack]

Abolish the police is still the only conclusion.

Suggesting that we would have needed to film more of this assault is a despicable excuse for a solution. This violence WAS filmed, yet Valérie Plante still refuses to condemn it. To prevent police violence, we need to remove its actual cause - the police.

“We never talked about men or clothes or other such inconsequential things,” Nina Simone wrote of Hansberry. “It was always Marx, Lenin, revolution — real girls’ talk.” Wrote about the life + loneliness of Lorraine Hansberry https://t.co/2oo5s6S8AF

Ford government cuts to criminal injury compensation are harming young women who are sexually exploited and victims of #humantrafficking https://t.co/FIik5ybJOO via @torontostar #homelessness #sdoh

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

Last week Doug Ford and AG Doug Downey quietly closed the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board. "In doing so, the conservative government has forever scrapped any meaningful government compensation for victims of crime in Ontario." #ONPoli #elxn43

So many women have survived domestic violence, some of us escape, some of us don't live through the experience. On Saturday, April 3rd, march against domestic violence in the name of Rebekah Harry, who lost her life to domestic violence.
