We work to forge critical connections and to work in solidarity with Black communities, Black-centric networks, solidarity movements, and allies in order to to dismantle all forms of state-sanctioned oppression, violence, and brutality committed against all Black communities, including African, Caribbean, Afro-Indigenous, migrant, queer, trans, and disabled Black communities. In addition to fighting against anti-Blackness, we create spaces to build our community. Through alternative forms of education, programming events for our communities, and supporting cultural creation, we believe that we create our own liberation through our commitment to thrive and build beautifully, in spite of the ugliness surrounding us. In our movement for Black liberation, we join calls to decolonize Turtle Island and Nunavut Nunangat. Our struggles are tied up with the struggles of the Indigenous people of the land on which many of our ancestors were brought and forced into brutalization—a living apocalypse. There is no Black Liberation without Indigenous Liberation on Turtle Island. [Learn about our origins](https://www.blacklivesmatter.ca/)  Dismantle all forms of anti-Black racism Liberate Blackness Support Black Healing Affirm black existence Create freedom to love and self-determine # defund the police Taxpayers spend over \$41 million per day collectively on police services across the country. This does not include spending on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, railway and military police, and government departments enforcing specific statutes in the areas of income tax, customs and excise, immigration, fisheries and wildlife. In engaging in these policing practices, police forces across the country routinely engage in surveillance against Black and Indigenous people, constrain our movements, harm and kill us. We believe that Black communities, and all communities, deserve better. The \$41 million per day that is being spent on policing is not creating safer, more secure communities. This funding can be reallocated to create safer and more secure societies for all of us, and to rid Black and Indigenous communities of a serious threat to our safety. ### We can and should - Have an emergency service that people can call if they are experiencing mental distress. - Disarm police, like the United Kingdom does, and like Oakland has committed to do. - Invest in shelters for people who are experiencing gender-based violence, so that the 300 women who are turned away from shelters each night in Canada have a place to go. - Create an emergency service for survivors and victims of sexual assault that will actually support them, instead of relying on the police forces in this country who have been routinely accused of sexual misconduct. - Provide nurturing educational environments, free of police interacting with our children without parental supervision. - Decriminalize drug use, and take a public health approach to providing support for those who need it. - Stop policing poverty, and reinvest funding into social housing, free transit, and food security. - Create a world where we all feel safe, and we all get what we need to live a life of dignity. Start the process by taking the funding that we currently waste on policing, and reinvest it in creating the safety and security we all need We are working toward the abolition of the police and toward a society where we can all be safe. While this is focused on law enforcement, we are also calling to defund jails, prisons, immigration detention centres, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), and the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA).
