A white supremacist mob raided a Mi'kmaw lobster facility, trashed the catch & lit a vehicle ablaze while police watched. No arrests. Meanwhile Black, Indigenous, and people of colour are shot on the spot during wellness checks. This is Canada in 2020. Solidarity with #Mikmaw.

After finishing recording our presentation for #CBIE2020 yesterday, my coworker proceeded to pee on my head. Literally. #livingwithsmalls

@JohnTory #DefundThePolice At minimum, start with 50% cut to TPS as called for by BLM Toronto. Reform condones murder and ongoing genocide. The safest communities are NOT those most policed; the safest communities are those most resourced. We don't want reform, we want abolition.

[Emma Wright @emmaindexed]

@PaulaFletcherTO Your community urges you, amend Matlow and Wong-Tam's motion to reduce the TPS’s budget by 50%, as called for by BLM Toronto. #DefundThePolice The safest communities are not those who are most policed; the safest communities are those who are most resourced.

The main entrance to #PDAC2020 on Front St is shut down by a wall of supporters facing a wall of police. #DisruptPDAC #shutdowncanada

In Spanish, good read about mining projects in Ecuador, current concerns and community resistance. "Development" on whose terms and in whose best interest? Following practices that are proven to be deadly favours profit over people and all our relations #Brumadinho #Mirador

That moment when you realize that the underlying motif of the toys that you just discovered from your childhood (that spark nostalgia, inner turmoil, and all kinds of feels) is genocide and the colonization of turtle Island. 🤔😣😭 #socializedintoasettlerstate

[Emma Wright @emmaindexed]

Not your land, not your right. #Shuar community not consulted. @LuminexRes , just another Canadian mining company ignoring #FPIC. #Canada 's foreign policy is colonial extractivism and #MiningInjustice

Much love and strength to @YafaJarrar and family. Shame on #Israel and all who support ongoing violence of #settlercolonialism From Turtle Island to Palestine those who stand for sovereignty and human rights are arbitrarily prosecuted, stolen from their homes #freekhalidajarrar

Resource development is central to the discussion of consent in the Red Paper, and specifically mining.

The map-banner on our Red Paper site depicts mining claim expansion on Indigenous territories from 1982-2018, and from 2019-onward, land back.

Watch this video to learn more #Ecuador #ClimateResistance #ClassWarfare Why isn't the Canadian media paying attention? Oh right, because Canada serves to benefit from #LeninMoreno's politics. #MiningInjustice and #Extractivism as #Canada's foreign policy @cafreeland

Massive protests have brought Ecuador almost to a standstill after President Lenin Moreno declared a host of economic and social austerity measures, proposed by the IMF, as a condition for loans. https://t.co/PWgOe19LQn

Toronto friends,

Please share widely.

Please join us.

Please help us pressuring the Ecuadorian government to stop the violence against students and Indigenous women, men, leaders, children, and elders.

(And to get the IMF out of our country)

[Fernanda Yanchapaxi @mfyanchapaxi]

If you want to hear about the events in Ecuador from an Indigenous perspective read this thread. I’ll start by saying that in 7 days of protest there has been 7 deaths (one newborn), 95 life-threaten injured, 500 injured, 83 disappeared, 800 detainees. Many are Indigenous 1/22

[Emma Wright @emmaindexed]

Ojo, indigenous uprising in #Ecuador led by @CONAIE_Ecuador not just about IMF austerity but also about resisting extractivism in their communities. Indg and POC leading while most at risk. #ClimateResistance meets #ClassWarfare meets #WhiteSupremacy and all the intersections

Decreto Estado de Excepción en territorio indígena del Ecuador ante la brutalidad de las fuerzas militares.

Militares y policías que se acerquen a nuestros territorios serán retenidos y sometidos a justicia indígena.

Ongoing protests in #Haiti & #Ecuador expose the lie that capitalist "free market" policies produce economic prosperity in Global South countries.

In reality, a handful of white multinational elites are making $$ at the expense of millions of poor Black & Indigenous people.

[Emma Wright @emmaindexed]

Wondering how what is happening in #Ecuador is connected to #Canada? Check out @MiningWatch blog to learn how CDN mining companies are benefitting from Ecuadorian gov'ts IMF backed economic offensive on indigenous and frontline communities.

[Emma Wright @emmaindexed]

All these post apocalyptic movies that portray a future void of nature are just socializing us to believe that to be the only possible future, while the greedy keep destroying, extracting and profiting. We can do better. We can change. Other futures are possible if we act.
