=============================
Beats Beat The Police is organized as part of ongoing efforts to end the violence of policing. We work to end the violence done by the police and the prison system on our communities. Poor and working-class people, especially poor and working-class Black people, Indigenous people and People of Colour, as well as migrants, disabled people, sex workers and drug users, are targeted by the police for violence on a daily basis.
The organizers acknowledge that Ottawa, and the entire Ottawa river watershed is the traditional territory of the Algonquin nation, and that the area is being illegally occupied by the Canadian state.
