If I wrote a dystopian novel and called two characters murdered by the fascist state "Ms. Good" and "Mr. Pretti" it would be awful writing (yes I GET it they want to destroy everything GOOD and PRETTY) and yet here we are, that is literally what they want and we live in a badly-written dystopia

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Co-written by one UBC prof (Dr. Michelle Stack) and quoting another (@carriejenkins.net) who said the Carnegie Learning Centre's Speakers Cafe “was wonderfully energizing” to her research project:
“I didn’t know if it was a mosque or a church. I just wanted a connection.”

The Carnegie Learning Centre has demonstrated what’s possible when a university reaches beyond its campus borders to partner with community service providers. Michelle Stack and Suzanne Smythe write. #vanpoli #bced
