My latest piece. Unhoused Indigenous people and intervention workers in the Plateau say police violence is something they witness or experience on a regular basis. Ppl are being cuffed and dropped off a block away, spoken to in FR when they dont speak it, and generally feel “belittled” by SPVM.
Unhoused Indigenous people and community workers say that the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is regularly violent and abusive towards Indigenous people. While the SPVM has added new training to their program, advocates say it's not working.

Par une douce nuit de novembre, six Palestiniens se réunissent dans nos studios pour se confier à La Converse. Imad, Nafisa, Fouad, Neda, Arwa et Asma ont tous grandi différemment, mais tous sont profondément affectés par la violence qui sévit dans leur pays.
