The Roots Remember: Reimagining Healing with Dr. Jennifer Mullan
Psychologist Dr. Jennifer Mullan discusses the colonial roots of Western mental health systems and advocates for decolonized, community-based approaches to healing. Through her book Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice, Dr. Mullan emphasizes the importance of ancestral knowledge, relational care, and embodied practices over extractive models of therapy. She calls for a collective reimagining of healing that centres on curiosity, connection, and holistic well-being.

Alone in a Cell: Sen. Wanda Thomas Bernard Advocates to End Solitary Confinement in Canada
Sen. Wanda Thomas Bernard joins calls to abolish solitary confinement in Canada, citing its inhumane impacts on mental health and disproportionate use against Black, Indigenous, and mentally ill inmates. Despite reforms like structured intervention units, the practice persists. Bernard advocates for rehabilitation, systemic change, and a guaranteed livable income to address incarceration’s root causes.

Not Your Rescue Project: Why Policing Migrant Sex Work Isn’t Protection
Migrant sex workers face violence not despite the law, but because of it. This article reveals how policing, immigration control, and anti-trafficking efforts use the guise of “protection” to criminalize, abuse, and displace racialized migrant women. The abolitionist call demands not just decriminalization, but an end to the systems that exploit and harm these workers in the name of safety.
