Halifax non-profit to host seminar on ending criminalization and policing
“Halifax-based non-profit Wellness Within will be hosting a public seminar on police reform Thursday evening.
The seminar, titled Fighting to End Policing & Criminalization - Strategies for Resistance is part of the non-profit's annual general meeting.
Founder and chairwoman Martha Paynter says that addressing police reform and incarceration are key issues for the organization. “People are increasingly realizing that more policing does not keep them safe,” Paynter said.
“When we’re spending public dollars on policing, not getting those results, it means that we’re not putting that money in areas where we will see results,” she said.
