#MomsAgainstRacism Hosts - Be A Kid: Cookie Decorating & Bouncy Castle!
Come out for June’s Be A Kid Event - a fun day just for #BIPOCkids and their families with cookie decorating, games, and a bouncy castle!

McTavish Academy Of Art
1720 McTavish Rd.
Sat, Jun 28, 2025 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

We’re also inviting all our MAR families to join the fun from 4:00 – 6:00 pm for our 3rd annual MAR Family Picnic!

Minimum contribution: $10 per family.

Open to #children who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or a Child of Colour) and their immediate families/caregivers. White presenting kids with racial hertitage and white family members/caregivers are warmly welcomed.

The Be a Kid program supports our members, the public, and their #racialized #kids in creating #community. This program will help to create opportunities for Black, Indigenous and #ChildrenOfColour to connect with each other, in a psychologically and culturally safer environment, while participating in an activity they may otherwise not.

#Racism and #policing have gone hand and hand in the #Canadian context—from the historical #SettlerColonialViolence of the #RCMP through contemporary practices, from carding and surveillance to assaults upon #racialized people and communities. The settler colonial character of the Canadian state continues in the current context in the #disproportionate arrest and incarceration of #Indigenous people and the exertion of violence, often lethal violence, against them.

Not surprisingly, the Canadian state and its various institutions of criminal justice have stridently denied claims of racism. Commissioner Brenda Lucki—the head of the Canadian state’s ongoing colonial force, the RCMP—recently infamously denied the existence of #SystemicRacism in the RCMP, even suggesting at a federal hearing that she did not know quite what that meant.

A #HumanRights organization is calling for an #IndependentInquiry into #Montreal #police #SPVM after emails show what appears to be the force interfering with an independent report looking into the practice of #StreetChecks.

The independent study was commissioned by the SPVM.

A group of several #researchers from different #Quebec universities published the study in 2023 and found that #racialized people are disproportionately targeted by the practice and that a #moratorium should be imposed.

But the most shocking part of the study wasn’t the findings — it is what high-ranking officials within the force appeared to do to change that conclusion.

[Lots of other white men, including some of my husband’s #journalism colleagues, were quick to comment that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Well, that’s bullshit. Even for people who did recognize the shootings as an act of #racism, I had to explain to them that it’s not just racism. It’s a #racialized #misogyny that’s very, very specific to #AsianWomen. ]

What is happening in #Maui & elsewhere is #ClimateColoniality, where #colonial & #imperial oppression, #capitalist exploitation & #racialized control create conditions of worsening #climate #injustices.

A couple of readings to help more comprehensive understanding of these components related to #climatecrisis:

(Today, Byfield is one of only a few #racialized #winemakers in #Canada — and the only #Black #Canadian with their own wine label.

Byfield, 55, is the owner of #NyaraiCellars, a virtual wine label. The company does not have a building or vineyard of its own, but contracts grapes from growers in the Niagara region. The wine is made at a winery in Hamilton — West Avenue Cider House — where Nyarai Cellars has its own barrels and tanks.)
