Dear friends of the UMIH,
In the past couple of weeks, we have become familiar with a long list of names: Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. Christian Cooper. George Floyd. Regis Korchinski-Paquet. Tony McDade. Black Lives Matter continues with its mandate, because state-sanctioned, police violence against Black bodies (including using the threat of this violence to protect white fragility) is unending in both the US and Canada.
Students and faculty affiliated with U of M's Faculty of Arts will know that there are very few BIPOC faculty in any of our departments outside of the star-studded Native Studies department, and even fewer Black faculty. The U of M is a historically white institution, and chooses to maintain itself as such. For those interested in knowing how they can help contribute to the project of racial justice right now, I pass on three pieces of advice I've learned from community organizers: One, reach out to your Black coworkers, students, and friends and check in with them. Offer support. Two, commit to hiring Black and Indigenous faculty, immediately. Three, follow and donate to one of these organizations committed to Black justice and liberation:
--Justice 4 Black Lives Rally at the Manitoba Legislature on Friday:https://www.facebook.com/events/2522942161368878/ They are also taking donations so please feel free to donate as much as you can. Email: Justice4BlackLivesWPG@gmail.commailto:Justice4BlackLivesWPG@Gmail.com (Insta: @justice4blackliveswinnipeg)mailto:Justice4BlackLivesWPG@Gmail.com --Black Lives Matter (Toronto): https://blacklivesmatter.ca/ --Queer and Trans People of Colour (Winnipeg): qpoc204@gmail.com (Insta: @qpocwinnipeg) --Black Visions Collective (Minneapolis): https://www.blackvisionsmn.org/ --Reclaim the Block (Minneapolis): https://www.reclaimtheblock.org/home --The Action Network, Louisville Community Bail Fund (Louisville, Kentucky): https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/louisville-community-bail-fund/
For folks interested in local prison abolition and police abolition organizations: --Bar None Winnipeg: https://barnonewpg.org/ --Winnipeg Police Cause Harm: wpgpolicecauseharm@gmail.commailto:%0dwpgpolicecauseharm@gmail.com%0d (Insta: @wpgpoliceharm)mailto:%0dwpgpolicecauseharm@gmail.com%0d
https://barnonewpg.org/https://barnonewpg.org/ The UMIH renews its commitment to showcasing and prioritizing research related to BIPOC histories and perspectives in the new year. Our annual report will be available for all on our website very soon. Please watch out for updates on programming for Asian Canadian communities in Winnipeg and unpacking our complacency in antiblackness. If you have ideas for programming related to any aspect of the events unfolding in the US and Canada, please feel free to reach out.
Stay safe and take care of one another, Serenity
