Alina Dyatlova's video: What Happened to Sabrina Polchies MMIWG Enough is Enough

Sabrina Polchies was a 22 year old Mi’kmaq woman from Elsipogtog First Nation in New Brunswick and is described by her family as a loving and compassionate young woman. Mary Polchies said she received a phone call from her daughter the day she died, on July 2, 2010, and she could hear men yelling abusive and racist comments at her before the line went dead. Sabrina’s body was subsequently found on July 5, 2010 in Salisbury and initially, the case was treated as suspicious. It should also be noted that her cellphone was found in the dumpster a few days later. Upon the discovery of alcohol and drugs in Sabrina's system, the RCMP ruled that there was “no foul play”.

I have created The Justice Card so we can also learn more about historic and ongoing impacts of colonization and how those colonial notions survive and thrive within our most “sacred” institutions. Disclaimer: As a white, able-bodied CIS woman, I acknowledge my privilege and I am using it to spread awareness about the on-going societal and institutionalized violence towards racialized groups, with a direct focus on Indigenous Peoples. I am actively working on challenging my internalized racism and biases by rejecting the narrative that was taught and absorbed by me as a result of white-washed education and prominent stereotypes in our media, social life, etc. This video is published in solidarity with the on-going activism of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island, specifically the work that they have been doing towards dismantling systems of oppression (de-colonization of institutions). I have created The Justice Card so we can learn more about historic and ongoing impacts of colonization and how those colonial notions survive and thrive within our most “sacred” institutions. Let’s challenge our white privilege and work through our white fragility together so we can effectively show up and do the work that is required of us. Systemic violence is rooted in white supremacy and has been flowing through our institutions for centuries, always wearing a new mask - a new face to fit the social climate of “today”. The work ahead of us is not easy, and will be difficult, awkward at times. As white folk, we benefit from these systems whether we realize it or not, and it is our job to dismantle it - piece by piece; we must acknowledge that the actions and inactions of our ancestors further solidified racial biases, discrimination and oppression.
