Copy and pasted: A statement from the group behind the Brenda Falk Accountability Petition: We read BC-CTV’s recent story about our petition demanding accountability from City of Abbotsford Councillor Brenda Falk with tremendous disappointment.... First, we note that although the reporter reached out to Brenda Falk for a statement, they did not solicit ours. This story is not truly representative of our core aim, which is to ask for true anti-racist leadership from Falk and the City of Abbotsford. Remember, when a Councillor’s business account follows accounts disparaging BIPOC and valorizing Nazi history, we deserve an explanation. When that same business account makes a statement that is tremendously hurtful to BIPOCeven if that hurt was unintendedwe deserve a statement of the concrete actions its owner will take to repair the wrong. When Brenda Falk silenced, blocked, and dismissed her criticsespecially BIPOCwe all deserved better. The BC-CTV story failed to highlight the behaviour that most motivated our petition. Namely: her ongoing silencing, blocking, and dismissing of BIPOC voices, and her business account’s extremely troubling history of following racist accounts. Why did the reporter not understand the relevance of these facts? Why was all of the above reduced to one phrase: a backlog of evidence? Furthermore, Falk’s statement that "I believe we need to focus on working together to solve these issues and not on fanning the flames of outrage and division" is yet another insidious silencing of BIPOC. Equating robust criticism of her lack of accountability with fanning the flames of outrage and division is a way of depicting her critics as a conflict-hungry mob. That is not who we are. Prior to our petition, when we delivered a letter asking for a statement of the anti-racist actions she and her business would take, we expressed a desire to enter into true community with her. And true community is only possible through accountability. Was Falk trying to focus on working together to solve these issues when she blocked us? Silenced us? Refused to even dignify our letter inviting her to enter into true community with us with a response? We don’t want to be misunderstood or misrepresented. We simply want an actionable anti-racism plan rom Falk, Mayor Henry Braun, and City Council that goes beyond the platitudes we’ve seen. And when we see this plan, we would be all too happy to focus on working together, by providing feedback and guidance. Because you do need this from BIPOC, City of Abbotsford. Whether you know it or not.
