[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

The State of Palestine co-sponsored the resolution and the Palestinian people stand in solidarity with the millions of African victims of trafficking and racialised chattel enslavement.

May this injustice never be perpetrated again; may its enduring racial, economic, ecological and political harms end; and may its victims find reparatory justice and accountability.

….why did Canada abstain👀@MarkJCarney @melaniejoly @SeanFraserMP @AnitaAnandMP cc: @CCUNESCO @CRRF @ElJonesPoet @TomObokata @DesmondCole @WabKinew @policingblack @MichaelleJ_FDN @SenatorWanda

This only deepens concerns about its real commitment to people of African descent.

[Sherwin Bryce-Pease @sherwiebp]

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a draft resolution that unequivocally condemns the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade as the most inhumane and enduring injustice against humanity.

123 in favour
3 Against (USA, Israel, Argentina)
52 abstentions

The resolution also seeks to recognize the profound and lasting impacts of the abhorrent regimes of slavery and colonialism and emphasizes that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent.

Here's how the Longueuil police force analyzes police stops.

I don't want to nitpick, but "biological affinity" is not a thing. We stopped talking about biological races after WWII b/c they don't exist. Also, "Oriental" is a surprising term to hear for a person under 90.

Quelle est la responsabilité des administrations municipales face aux actions posées par leurs forces policières? N’est-ce pas elles qui approuvent leurs budgets?

« Détenu illégalement, voyant ses droits bafoués, il a vu chacune de ses tentatives de dénoncer l’injustice qu’il subissait accueillie par toujours plus de violence. » Mon texte avec @emrical sur le mort de Nicous Spring et le système carcéral anti-Noir.
