Swaita, as a member of the @OttawaPolice Services Board was privy to confidential information around the action of the Police Services Board during the #OttawaOccupation . This shouldn't be taken lightly.

This is a good first step but doesn't let the @OttawaPolice off the hook. There needs to be a FULL inquiry into the #OttawaPolice to find out why and how everything transpired the way it did. And others need to be held accountable too like our mayor and Chair of the OPS Board.

If every member of the @OttawaPolice Board resigning wasn't evidence enough of how deep the rot goes, a recent report showed several OPS officers donated to support the #OttawaOccupation . Every day it becomes clearer that police have never been interested in keeping us safe.

This isn't okay. It shouldn't be this hostile and dangerous to support trans people in our city. @OCDSB what is being done to address this threat and ensure that the meeting (if it goes ahead tonight) will be safe for everyone?

TRIGGER WARNING. I just received this death threat. THIS HAS TO STOP. I will not resign. I will not be intimidated into silence. Whether the sender is in Ottawa or elsewhere, threats like this interfere with democracy.

We will continue to work and organize with our members and community members to ensure these folks don't get elected. We also demand that the @OCDSB take a clear stance and position on this matter in favour of trans rights and against transphobia #TransRightsAreHumanRights 2/2

On September 20th, anti-2SLGBTQIA+ activists plan to rally on Parliament Hill for a so-called “Million Person March.” We’ve beaten the far right before and we can do so again - join us, @CommunitySolid2 and many others to stand up to anti-trans hate this Wednesday!
