Today I'm preparing for the possibility of receiving a harsher sentence than Alex Dunn - the cop found guilty of assaulting a handcuffed Black woman by slamming her face first into concrete and the whole reason we were outside of courthouse for 14 days in 2021.
Twice in a week I have now been asked to leave protests by police. Today I attended the protest in support of Palestine. I was there for maybe 15/20 mins, standing on the sidewalk, holding a sign, not causing harm to anyone. 3 police officers approached me and told me to leave.
Wallahi — it’s shameful to see our community march with Islamophobes and white supremacists.
These are the same people who years ago cheered as Harper brought in the Niqab ban and as Quebec continues to trample the right of Muslims in Quebec.
WHO IS ADORA NWOFOR?
Adora Nwofor is a GIANT. Not only in regards to her height but the heights she has reached as a creative here in Calgary. Her movements have created spaces for artists of all backgrounds to thrive. 1/
Every activist/organizer/concerned citizen etc. should be enraged & worried sick about what is happening to Adora Nwofor & Taylor McNallie in Alberta right now.
From the extraneous charges and convenient “clerical error” to the massive right-wing platforms demonizing two powerful Black women. This is deliberate. This is white supremacy in action. This is the beginning of dangerous tactics and legal precedents against all social justice activists in Alberta. #Abpoli #Ableg
Help a Black single Mother create home security for her family by supporting her efforts in building alternative housing! She has 48 days to relocate, so time is of the essence. @freesoulblkbody does so much for others. Please give generously.

35 grocery boxes reached 144 people this weekend, all packed with rice, lentils, fresh fruit, and veggies. We will be packing in a members' garage for the time being while we continue to search for a permanent but for now, this works just fine. ❤️ #YYC#MutualAid
@CalgaryPolice How is hurting people keeping them safe? When will you realize your excessive force and weaponized animals are not helping? I think the answer is never.
If I hit you with a weapon, wouldn't you want to hit back? Think about it CPS

This just keeps getting worse.
We continue to demand a full list of UCP members who went abroad on vacation while their constituents couldn’t even cross the street to visit family at Christmas.
What else is Jason Kenney hiding? #ableg#abhealth

Dear Alberta,
If you still think you need to back a @Alberta_UCP government that blames South Asians for spreading #COVIDAB & sees nothing wrong with hundreds of anti-maskers protesting with organized racists, we might as well pack it in now.
Wake. Up.
