CW: Discussion of GBV, SA and assault On this Talk About it Tuesday, we're discussing gender-based violence as an epidemic in Canada. A prime example of the culture enabling GBV and protecting its perpetrators can be seen within the Ontario police force. We'll be looking at a recent investigation conducted by CBC. This culture not only enables, but keeps victims and others unsafe.

CW: Descriptions of workplace harassment, and SV A study conducted from 2021-2022 found that 71.4% of workers (across a variety of sectors) have experienced at least one form of workplace harassment. Many of the policies put in place meant to prevent workplace harassment were found to be either ineffective, not applied properly, or only applied to certain groups. "There's a lack of reporting but also ...who did report said that it made no difference or made the situation worse" Managerial practices, such as scheduling, are being used to retaliate against those who speak up about harassment, where employers will cut shifts, or give employees unfavourable hours as a way to prevent them from reporting.

Hello dearest friends, can you believe we're already at the end of November? It's been a beautiful year with our co-heart and with our extended CFM family whether that's here, our alumni, our donors and funders, or our larger activist ecosystem. We shared some powerful highlights from a recent workshop as part of our #CFMWorkshopHighlighs series yesterday that spoke about HEAL (Healthy Economic Alternatives that Last), a recent California budget initiative, that offers cities who end their contracts with ICE and/or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding to retain & retrain their workforce into sustainable, non-carceral alternatives that help the economy & community flourish and HEAL. We view this as part of larger abolitionist work which seeks to end all logics of carcerality: from prisons, to apartheid, to detention centers, military-industrialization and note, as IM4HI so lovingly puts it: 'All Are Sacred Across Bars & Borders.' So today, for our #16DaysOfActivism at CFM series, we wanted to highlight the incredible Abolitionist FAQ Toolkit & Zine, "What About The Rapists" from Mariame Kaba & Eva Nagao, housed at @interruptcrim We leave you with their powerful question: 'When something can't be fixed, what can we build instead?'
