Holding space and thinking right now about
#AbdirahmanAbdi family, his friends, the#Somali community in Ottawa and everyone else who is right now upset, heartbroken but not shocked that the#whitesupremacy#criminaljusticesystem continues to function as designed. -
A REMINDER:
#Ottawa Police Constable#DanielMontsion beat#AbdirahmanAbdi to death with his reinforced gloved fists.

The police got away with murder. No justice for
#AbdirahmanAbdi Ottawa City Council also just voted against diverting *some* of the police's upcoming budget increase to health services. In this climate. In a pandemic.

If our mayor cannot name anti-Black racism in his statement on violence against Black people, he cannot be trusted to meaningfully address it. He points to American violence with vague reference to issues at home while Ottawans still fight for

This was an emotional day for Ottawa. Pain marching into the streets - but this was the most powerful. Praying for racial justice in front of the Prime Minister's Office.
