“The people of #Gaza need a ceasefire not when practicable, but now. They need a sustained ceasefire, not a ‘temporary period of calm’. Anything short of this is gross negligence.”

Canada has a growing record of charging journalists covering the lives of Indigenous Peoples - from Muskrat Dam to Wet’suwet’en to Six Nations and now Edmonton. This must end - eroding press freedom harms everyone. Don’t criminalize @Songstress28 for being a journalist.
Brandi Morin@Songstress28
Tanya Talaga nails it @TanyaTalaga This. Not many others would understand this context. HIY HIY “Brandi Morin never shies away from a hard story or a fight. A fearless Indigenous author and journalist, Ms. Morin won a prestigious Edward R. Murrow award in 2022 for her work covering the murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls’ crisis in this country. As a survivor of that very crisis, she is intimately familiar with what the colonial system has done to Indigenous Peoples – the violence, the imprisonment, the shunning and separation that emerged from two colliding worldviews – and it is from this lens that she covers every story she walks into. On Jan. 10, Ms. Morin was at a freezing-cold, Indigenous-led encampment of fewer than a dozen people on a two-acre lot in Edmonton, interviewing Roy Cardinal, one of the spiritual leaders of this marginalized group. They are struggling to exist in their tents because they can’t afford housing on their own land… Yet she found herself forcibly removed from the scene, arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer – a criminal charge that carries a maximum sentence of two years in jail. There are several serious issues concerning the arrest of Ms. Morin, but perhaps the grossest is the dangerous precedent of journalists being muzzled or threatened for telling the story of the lived experience of Indigenous Peoples.” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
