LIVE: The family of Ashlee Shingoose is in Winnipeg today for a special hearing where they delivered post-conviction victim impact statements.

Ashlee was a victim of a Winnipeg serial killer who was sentenced to life in prison last year.

There is nothing “independent” or “civilian” about any police oversight agencies in Canada. It is incredible how people currently running these organizations can live with themselves clearing people and not having average community members who care inside doing the work to hold police accountable.

When will @SIUOntario be run by community members? The legislation for police oversight has been constructed so that no one is ever held accountable. Why are public dollars being wasted on these institutions that continue to fail victims and communities impacted by police brutality and killings?

Reimagining the Commons Is One Step Toward a Future Without Police This is about far more than access to goods and services; it’s about a new conception of community and social relations.

“Recreating the commons also means ensuring de-commodified access to things that make life worth living — the things that are necessary to live fully…At the core of these commitments is a recognition of our deep, collective interdependence. That means taking responsibility for each other’s care.”

Police can not provide safety, only violence. These murders by police are not an accident, they are by design and part of canada's ongoing genocide against Indigenous Peoples. No mum should lose her child like this. #defundthercmp #CanadaSoRacist
