Sexual Assault Voices of Edmonton (SAVE) is working toward a future without sexualized violence and without the attitudes & norms at the root of that violence.
Today, we released our call for a ceasefire and the reinstatement of the University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre. Read more about what is happening at UASAC and why the discourse around sexual violence in Israel-Palestine is so problematic here: https://t.co/2r8Kf1FQ9n
Today, we can hold space for complicated feelings. All human life is valuable, and we can grieve for individuals, their families, and their communities, without participating in police propaganda. #policeviolencesurvivors
SAVE is starting a book club! Our first book is "Abolition. Feminism. Now" by Angela Davis, Gina Dent, Erica R. Meiners and Beth E. Richie. We will be reading 3 chapters every month and then discussing them in posts / comments. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Who's working for change? An incredible group of Black, racialized and Indigenous feminists and other folks have been calling for radical change and abolition for decades. Here in Ottawa we have amazing activism #WeKeepEachOtherSafe#EndGBV
SAVE has new "Defund the Police" posters that are downloadable and printable on our website! Please share! They can be found here: https://t.co/egEuVIhnqt

This neighbourhood is full of low-rise apartment buildings. Still, a neighbour accross the street said she heard 10-12 shots. Also, since when is robbing a liquor store punishable by death?
Who keeps us safe? We keep us safe!
Skill share, art, snacks, and sick beats in the park this weekend. Come thru YEG!

Chief Scott: "If it’s true that DNA collected from a rape or sexual assault victim has been used by SFPD to identify and apprehend that person as a suspect in another crime, I’m committed to ending the practice.”
