Please join us from 11-1pm tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 13th on the corner of University and Union, as we join communities across Turtle Island in demanding justice for Jane Doe at Cornell and all survivors of sexual violence, and hold our institutions accountable. In 2020, a report revealed that Queen’s students experienced the 2nd highest sexual harassment reports among Canadian universities, and Queen’s continues to promote its long standing partnership with Cornell through its Executive MBA Americas program (a joint venture between Smith School of Business at Queen’s University and Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University).

While Cornell refused discipline the Cornell57 for their involvement in the brutal assault of Jane Doe, they had no issue in suspending four peaceful protestors from the same year. It was only because students brought the case to light that we know about the horrific gender based violence that Cornell tried to cover up, and we will continue to stand in solidarity with Jane Doe and demand justice for all survivors of sexual violence, on our campus, at Cornell, and everywhere.

Please wear teal if you can: the official colour of SA Awareness Month (in April).

Emancipation Day recognizes the abolition of slavery in Canada and other British colonies on August 1st, 1834.

Today, we reflect on Canada’s colonial history and ties to slavery that it often neglects to accept. We remember, honour, and celebrate those who struggled and resisted against the transatlantic slave trade in British colonies. We carry their memory forward to propel us into a liberated future. Today, we celebrate dignity and resilience.

In our reflection, we must also remember the present-day impacts of Canada’s colonial history of slavery upon the Black communities. The legacy of the slave trade lives on today in the form of racial inequities in employment, education, housing, and health, as well as the over-policing and over-surveillance of Black communities. Our very own institute, Queen’s University, has itself drenched in this, from banning Black students from its Medical School to thier treatment of Alfred Pierce. The reminders of Canada’s participation in slavery are all around us. 

Emancipation Day did not come about without struggle and without many losing thier lives during the uprisings against in the British colonies.

But what this day reminds us is that liberation is inevitable.
While we celebrate today, PSAC901 encourage you all to do your part in dismantling the ongoing struggle for liberation for all. From the transatlantic slave trade to Turtle Island to Congo to Palestine, our fight for freedom continues.
