Our 2019 Annual Report is here!
Work at the systemic level takes a long time, and 2019 saw much progress on civil liberties and human rights issues that we’ve been fighting for many years.
From challenging racist police street checks, protecting the rights of imprisoned people, to combatting state surveillance, our work continues onwards.
Here’s a snapshot of our 2019 Annual Report:
- Highlights from the legal and legislative battles we fought in the past year, including expanding the right to vote, advocating for an end to indefinite solitary confinement, and fighting discriminatory practices such as police street checks and the Community Safety Act.
- Highlights from the Protest Papers, which revealed how Canada’s intelligence agencies monitored Indigenous communities and environmentalist groups that opposed the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project.
- An update on ongoing... work in solidarity and partnership with Indigenous communities and organizations to address over-policing, criminalization, and over-incarceration of Indigenous people.
- A conversation with Pro Bono Lawyer Alison Latimer showing the power of pro bono lawyers working side by side with the BCCLA in effecting positive social change in the courts.
