Poster the city with these stop the tank posters ✨
Thanks to the community member who made the poster! Colour printing is available at public libraries. Every month library card holders have $5 credit to use! To download the poster scan the QR code or at a link in our bio!
Stop the tank!! Find an email template in our bio and keep updated about actions in the coming weeks 💖
The increasing militarization of the police is behind concerning. We should be de-tasking and defunding the police. Our public money should be put towards actual community focused initiatives that uplift us all as they aim to get to the root of harm.
Fund actual rescue vehicles that are separated from the police.
Police Budget 101! Here’s a rundown of how the (deeply flawed) HRM police budget process works (or fails us to be more accurate) !

✨GOAL MET✨
Y’all really did that. Together. In less than a week.
The sweet messages you sent alongside your contributions were incredibly lovely.
Mutual aid is the way of forever and each other.
Huge relief to be able to notify this student of the good news. My heart to them♥️
✨keep engaging, keeping sharing mutual aids, keep focused on each other and how we are providing care/support✨
♥️fr33 p@le $t!n3♥️
✨will be posting receipts over the next few days✨
A P4le$tinian student needs $3000.00 to support them with lawyer fees. The university they attend is pursuing racially motivated, punitive action against this student, including citing speaking Arabic as threatening. It is crucial that this student has access to the legal support of their choosing that will best represent them and their experiences.
This student has engaged in consistent community advocacy and education that has questioned and challenged this institution’s investments and interests over the past year and is now being targeted.
As a community, we must continue to support and uplift P4le$tinian voices and disrupt institutional plans to silence them.
🌿I envision us coming together to do our part and meet this goal quickly🌿
