Asilu Collective is a grassroots abolitionist group of racialized, queer, trans, and disabled organizers working towards policing-free schools on unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin territory (so-called Ottawa). Our group was co-founded in 2020 by three racialized friends who had witnessed the harms that policing in schools had on themselves and their marginalized peers througout their time in Ottawa's education system.
Hundreds of students, educators, parents, and community members have shared their experiences of fear and discrimination as a result of police presence in Ottawa schools.
