I respectfully acknowledge that I live and work on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabe people who have long been stewards and caretakers of this land. The exploitation of land is deeply connected to gender-based violence and exploitation and in order to see a future of liberation for all, when we “stand for one, we must stand for the other.” (Lisa Brunner)
