UBCIC unequivocally condemns racism and threats of sexual violence from this former Port Moody Land Use Committee member. We stand with the Coast Salish mother and her daughter who have been targeted with this anti-Indigenous racist vitriol #MMIWG

Why are ppl not up in arms about this:

An advisor to City of Port Moody, Rotary Club Member & a Director at Century 21 Alistair Henry threatened sexual violence against a Coast Salish womans child!

Why do we wait until our ppl are harmed or disappear, when there are warning signs?

On Tuesday, May 14th at 6pm, join Massy Arts, MassyBooks, and Book*hug Press in celebrating the launch of 'Monsters, Martyrs, and Marionettes' by Adrienne Gruber with guest Elee Kraljii Gardiner.

Anyone concerned with #MMIWG2S in this country should be concerned about Alistair Henry , Advisor to City of Port Moody, Rotary International member, & Century 21 employee, & his gross sexual comments about Coast Salish woman’s daughter.

3. Today I am especially ashamed to be a Writers' Trust award winner because
Kenney is anti marriage equality & protections for lgbtq students in schools.
Look at his past: he opposed hospital visitation to gay couples during the AIDS epidemic. Literally he wants us to die alone!

Today I’m ashamed to be a Writers' Trust award winner. Kenney imposed a ban on niqabs at citizenship ceremonies. Sided with Israel amidst critics of apartheid. Froze immigration applications for parents, grandparents, splitting families. Inviting him to host is racist. Full 🛑

Good things happen! Down with the transphobic, sexist POS Barry Neufeld!

On today's fascist attacks in Germany against the Palestine Congress and the ongoing, systemic repression of Palestine organizing: Zaid Abdulnasser, the former coordinator of Samidoun Deutschland (prior to the ban in Nov 2023) was issued a political ban from the Congress.
