SUMMARY:Webinar: Policing, Protest & The Resurgence of The Far Right
DESCRIPTION:The Council of Canadians has a proud track record of defending the right to protest. We’ve also witnessed what members, supporters, and allies have experienced at the hands of the police while exercising this right.\nWe have seen intimidation of LNG protesters, surveillance of environmental demonstrators, violence against Indigenous land defenders, and brutality and killings in Black and racialized communities.\nWe have long expressed that there is a double-standard of police responses to dissent. While far-right groups have been granted a wide berth to disrupt communities, police forces have been quick to shut down Black Lives Matter protests, Land Defenders at Wet’suwet’en, and encampments of unhoused people – to name a few. We fear that double standards are about to become even more stark.\nThis is not the Canada we want.\nTo better understand this moment in Canadian history, we turn to allies and leaders in anti-racist research and organizing.\nPlease join us at our upcoming webinar where we will explore and discuss issues of policing, protest, and the resurgence of the far right.\nDate: Thursday, May 5, 2022\nTime: 8:30pm NT, 8pm AT, 7pm ET, 6pm CT, 5pm MT, 4pm PT\nLocation: On Zoom. RSVP: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QKEINx52RCmvdZbzu8J-Xw\nFeaturing panelists:\n\nBarbara Perry,Researcher of right-wing extremism in Canada; Professor, Ontario Tech University\nEl Jones, Professor and researcher at Mount Saint Vincent University; Organizer and activist on police defunding and abolition\nSleydo'(Molly Wickham), Land Defender,Wet’suwet’en\nErica Ifill,Ottawa-based economist, columnist, activist\n\nThis conversation will be moderated by award-winning journalist Anne Lagacé Dowson, a Montreal broadcaster and commentator, and former CBC and BellMedia host. She worked for over 20 years for CBC and Radio-Canada, in Montréal, Ottawa and Toronto as a reporter, researcher, producer, director and host. She has an MA in History and Women’s Studies.\nWe look forward to gathering with you all to reflect on this moment and work together to build a better future.\n
