Arguing that legality = morality is dangerous and wrong

♥️♥️♥️

Day 9: We will not be moved! Protestors are sitting at City Hall in front of the doors, waiting for Fred Eisenberger to come talk to us. Please bring a lawn chair and come join us! We’ll be here ALLLLLLLL day. #HamOnt #onpoli #DefundThePolice

If you can’t handle criticism and people exercising their constitutional rights, just resign, don’t make a conspiracy of it 😂

We are watching in real time as #HamOnt mayor placeholder Fred Eisenberger uses the Hamilton Police to make negotiations for a private meeting rather than meeting with Defund HPS residents publicly. But he also “doesn’t direct police operations” 🤔 Shameful. #Hamilton

what do we want? public meeting! when do we want it? now! pscp.tv/w/cpa8EDFNV0V3…

✊

A public meeting is a reasonable request when we've had: Attacks at PRIDE A former white nationalist leader working at city hall RHVP scandal Sewage spills Protester persecution Silencing criticism Hate groups at city hall Misuses of health info Raids on encampments Etc. ++

Ring a ding ding ☎️

@Orawse Hamilton Police Fred Eisenberger Defund HPS please call ward 1 councillor Maureen Wilson tomorrow. Wilson keeps changing her public position on the encampment and on policing. call and ask why the city spends endless money to police people without housing. you can reach her office at 905-546-4528 solidarity! 💜

Day 11! We are still here and won't move. Why won't the Mayor speak to us? Why is council entertaining a police budget increase while people are unhoused? Council is saying no one is calling them. Call your Councillor today and tell them #DefundThePolice #HousingForAll #HamOnt

wake up BITCH! if u want it GO GET IT I KNOW THAT U CAN DO IT 🤗😘🥰

The people of Ontario see through this. We will not be gaslighted. The government must take responsibility and: -close non-essential businesses -supply N95s for workers -provide #PaidSickDays -reallocate more #COVID19 vaccines to hotspots The people of Ontario demand action.

Just ONE?!

Here is the footage of Hamilton Police arresting 3 Black youth early this afternoon.These violent attacks are a reminder of outright police brutality & systemic racism. Why are Black youth being arrested when they are advocating for better housing options for residents?#HamOnt

This is not how you rebuild trust. But they already knew that. A liaison officer is never going to change this dynamic, no matter how much coffee they buy for others. Hamilton Police #HamOnt Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI) Hamilton Encampment Support Network

Housing is a Human Right! #DefundThePolice is a real strategy that results in funnelling funds into housing, health & social services. Peaceful protest should never result in violence & arrest! But they often do when the protesters are racialized! In solidarity with Sarah Jama

I am still recovering, documenting my injuries, and trying to think clearly about what happened. I didn’t get the chance because they kept arresting and brutalizing my friends. I will be speaking on this shortly.
