How do you show your social value in a way that’s instantly recognizable?

"The meaning ascribed to race in the nightclub setting was related to perceptions of safety. The bouncers (many of whom are Black or Latino) claimed that letting Black or Latino Americans in might jeopardize safety at the club. However, Rivera says she saw fights between white customers frequently."

Really excited to share this community work on reimagining #CommunitySafety and advancing visions for #decarceral cities by Carceral Studies Research Collective and the many contributing community groups here in #Ottawa.

In their own words, these dispatches from community organizers reimagine safety through #housing and community spaces, removing barriers to accessing and implementing supports, building capacity for collective action and #MutualAid, and advocating to “change everything.”
