    Please read happy Black books too. We don't just write about slavery and colonialism. Consume Black history and art about anything. It all helps to decenter whiteness

    Crucial viewing in a country where we continue to contrast ourselves w/the US without looking into what's happening our own communities. asks, "Why are you more afraid of police not being able to hurt us, than you are about police *killing* us?"

    Good morning to everyone who understands why Black people are in the streets, and why we must abolish the police and give their budgets to the people they've harmed. Please watch and share:

    One of the subjects of "There's No Place Like This Place, Anyplace" is Itah Sadu, co-owner of bookstore & cultural centre. Itah has worked for decades to uplift the work and lives of Canadians of African and Caribbean descent.

    This is the headline everyone should be seeing this morning. No passive voice or mysterious acts of violence. Name flatly who's responsible - the police.

    White people: whatever outrage and sadness you are feeling - pouring it all out on social to your Black friends won't make them feel connected to you, it just places the burden of your feelings on top of their own. Send money, send a meal, buy from Black businesses. BE USEFUL.

    “There’s something very, very wrong with how the folks running the provincial response to this epidemic are reacting to it and how they’re processing information.” Just utterly scathing evaluation of Ontario’s response.
