Parents in protecting their children are hit as hard by the division. In the last weeks, an increasing number of youth have been targeted and arrested by this division. One particular incident has shaken and angered families living in Mount Olive, a housing project at Finch and Kipling. In response to the arrest of a 14 year old boy at Mount Olive, organizer Amina Ali says,"The boys his age used to play basketball or go to the youth centre in Albion, but now at 7pm they have to go home. Because they're scared - maybe I'll be booked, maybe I'll be stopped. It traumatized the small kids under fifteen. What happened to Faizal did not happen to him alone. It happened to the whole community." As the government increases spending on police in poor areas in the name of safety, poor communities feel the effects of escalating violence and injustice at the hands of police. Accordingly, it is necessary for communities to resist this escalation. Friday will see the first demonstration organized by the OCAP Women of Etobicoke. Please join us in standing against police harassment of youth in North Etobicoke.
