A reportback from the November 25 counterdemo in Renfrew, where the local LGBTQ+ community and their friends outnumbered and drowned out anti-trans protestors! gaymafiaprotectionracket.nob…
Around 20 Canadian-flag-toting fascists on a median. At the centre, some guy with a sign saying "female only change rooms are lawfull." A lady on the left has a Trudeau wanted sign, and there's a "fuck Trudeau" flag behind one of the Canadian flags.

With these drag defence events, there is always the potential for confrontation. Check out this page for safety tips to minimize your risk: communitysolidarityottawa.ca…
Stay Safe Mask up—the far-right wants to expose your identity for harassment, and the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing! Don’t film community members without permission. Do film fascists and police activities. Debating fascists only gives them more fuel. Don’t speak to police. Read up on your rights! Use a buddy system; arrive and leave as a group if you can! For more tips and safety information, visit communitysolidarityottawa.ca/safety-plan

Chuds called in a bomb threat the other day, and then tried to burn the Brockville library down for hosting a Drag Storytime. Defend queer lives, defend queer kids, by any means necessary.

Help the Aust Family move out of the apartment where they lost Anthony due to Ottawa Police No-Knock Raid. For 2 years, the family was unable to afford moving out of the same apartment where Anthony was killed by @OttawaPolice during the tragic 2020 militarized no-knock raid!

What happened to @FierteCapPride’s ban of uniformed cops at Pride events? Or was that just lip service to Black activists during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement without real understanding of what’s at stake? cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/su…

Here's the TV piece about what @keffals endured during her swatting and doxxing in London, Ontario. She first talks about how her community has often been a haven for transgender youth and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

“With a 64% increase in anti-LGBTQ2+ hate crimes in 2021 compared to 2020, this is not to be taken lightly. Worse still, I doubt our [..] government has noticed. Amid rising hate, they haven’t scaled up on LGBTQ2+ inclusion and rights at home or abroad” ottawacitizen-com.cdn.amppro…
