Hi Friend,
If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that defending civil liberties and human rights is imperative.
This year, our team has passionately fought in the courts, advocated for meaningful law reform, and advanced public legal education. They did this work with conviction and a fighting spirit.
Will you make a donation today, and bring our collective fighting spirit into 2021?
Some of the highlights of our work this
year include:
- Supporting nationwide efforts to
protect the rights of the most oppressed during the
pandemic to ensure no one was left behind, while speaking out against
unreasonable breaches of civil liberties and policing of the
pandemic.
- Fighting for an end to policing harms on multiple fronts, including our advocacy with community groups to ban police street checks in BC as well as our lawsuit against RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki
- Securing an important victory with
community organizations in forcing a pause on a coercive
bill proposing a new form of... detention and involuntary health
care for youth experiencing an overdose.
- Celebrating a timely
victory protecting the free expression rights of frontline healthcare
workers to criticize the healthcare system without
fear.
When someone’s rights are violated, they deserve
justice. Not everyone has the ability to challenge the
government on their unjust actions.
But we do. We’re a small organization, but we want to have a big impact in the fight for justice.
Every time our lawyers appear in court, they are fighting for what’s right. It takes creative tactics and resources to fight these battles. Our lawyers dedicate hundreds of hours to building strong legal arguments. They build these arguments to stand up for justice.
There is still so much to be done in 2021. We will be ringing in the new year ready for more fights.
You can join us in the fight for a more just world by making a donation here.
Thank you for fueling our fires and joining us in these fights!
Sincerely,
Harsha Walia (she/her)
Executive Director
