#happysummer to all our supporters! Yesterday, after a long and challenging school year, our EC was able to meet and celebrate AOEC. This team is changing the world and public education. Their commitment to social Justice in and out of the classroom has sustained me this year and beyond. I am so honoured to work with all of them. This next year, AOEC is going to delve even deeper into social Justice work, and we hope you can join us in this work🙌🏾 featured here is our new t-shirts connected to our ongoing work to have two in service days implemented in K-12 for decolonial work. You can support this work by signing our petition at www.AOEC.ca and circulating it in your networks. We thank you for your continued support of our PSA. #educationforall #socialjusticeeducation #antioppressioneducation✊🏽

AOEC member @lee_yima and their SS8 class at @wind

AOEC member @lee_yima and their SS8 class at @windermeresecondary mobilized this morning to create a display of 215 orange shirts to honour the children found at Kamloops IRS, once the largest in Canada residential school system. The Honorable Justice Murray Sinclair, chair of the TRC points to education: "it is precisely because education was the primary tool of oppression of Aboriginal people, and miseducation of all Canadians, that we have concluded that education holds the key to reconciliation" The truth is in plainsight and we must face it and intervene. Take time this week to read the TRC Final Report Vol 4, Canada's Residential Schools: Missing Children and Unmarked Burials.

AOEC in partnership with @pivotlegal @cops_out_of_

AOEC in partnership with @pivotlegal @cops_out_of_schools and VESTA are holding a virtual press conference on Monday April 26 at 530pm. Parents, teachers and community members will share their experiences with the presence of police in Vancouver schools. We are in full support of the calls to remove the SLOs in Vancouver and all efforts to cut ties between schools and policing. AOEC has continued to support teachers in BC in 'unlearning the colonial' through the work of our PSA. Decolonization is not possible unless it involves systemic change and the dismantling of settler colonial institutions. The removal of police presence is one step towards a future that is more just and schools that are safer. Full press release will be uploaded to www.aoec.ca later today but can be found @cops_out_of_schools bio. Media can contact meenakshi@pivotlegal.org for Zoom details. #copsoutofschools

Our hearts go out all Asian communities. We send you endless streams of love. For the kids, we know watching this brutality will be triggering for many of you. Please kmow we stand with Asian communities everywhere, and see this violence as #whitesupremacy. We stand with @redcanarysong and all community organizers everywhere who know that the response to violence should not include increase of police and surveillance.

Tomorrow, Feb 24 2021 marks the 15th anniversary of the death of Black feminist Sci Fi writer @octaviaebutler. To watch and bask in her brilliance, go to: https://www.democracynow.org/2021/2/23/octavia_butler_2005_interview for one of the last televised interviews of the "Mother of Afrofuturism". When asked by Amy Goodman in 2005 how she got into writing as a young Black woman, an outsider in the Sci fi literature world, she states: "With my eyes tightly shut. I assumed I could do it. I wasn't being brave or even thoughtful. I wanted it, and I assumed I could have it ". #afrofuturism #parableofthesower #blackhistorymonth #blackfeminism
