Today an Alberta lawyer argued that requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course was the same as forcing indigenous children into residential schools and I’ve never heard a more powerful argument for requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course. #ableg

⭐️🔥75% of Lawyers voted down the petition. We sent those negative views back to the abyss for now. Proud of my team & colleagues We showed up, stood strong. In the words of Murray Sinclair. Education is what got us here and Education is what will get us out @LawSocietyofAB

The Justice system has neglected Indigenous Women, Girls & Gender-Diverse+ Peoples for far too long.
Thanks to @KorenLE and others speaking up today to uphold the bare minimum of a course on Indigenous culture for lawyers in Alberta.

In the words of my 16 year old. Those Alberta Lawyers who are petitioning @LawSocietyofAB to not have mandatory CPD on cultural competency are probably the ones who most need to take it. #trc

Hi! Checked in after a few years to see what's the fuss. No joke: conversation has really deteriorated. Even in go-to # tags the empty yelling is on "high volume" and the kindness and thought is low ebb. Miss the humans tho :) Drop me a line on #mastadon or other socials ♥️
