 This month at *Briarpatch*!
*Intervening in violence: Mimi Kim on gender, the state and community
accountability<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=9ca1757fda&e=7b2e1b8487>
*
Kim's pragmatic approach to defending the safety and integrity of women
stems from years of work on the ground with women of colour and others who
have been marginalized from the mainstream anti-violence movement.

*Safer sex: the case for
decriminalization<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=0decdfc29d&e=7b2e1b8487>
*
Last fall, an Ontario Superior Court Judge ruled to decriminalize
prostitution in the province. The Ontario and federal governments are
appealing the decision. In preparation for the hearing in June, sex workers’
rights advocates make a strong case for decriminalization.
*
The Jaggi Singh
trial<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=d888356c8c&e=7b2e1b8487>:
A view from inside the
courtroom<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=59b36fe78c&e=7b2e1b8487>

Ideas are being put on trial in Canada. Singh, one of the nation’s most
prominent anti-capitalist activists, could face up to six months in prison
for urging people to take down the $5-million G20 summit fence erected in
downtown Toronto last June. Carmelle Wolfson offers a poignant overview of
the case and what led Singh to plead guilty to "counselling to commit
mischief" in April.

*Our Way to Fight: Book
review<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=0518604078&e=7b2e1b8487>

In Michael Riordon's latest book, subtitled "Peace-work under siege in
Israel-Palestine," you’ll meet Palestinians and Israelis whose struggles for
peace, justice and an end to more than half a century of illegal
dispossession and brutal occupation, belie the racism and harmful
homogenising of history that fuel the current policies of the Zionist state.

 Plus: *Shafted by the feds
again!<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=7dae1a0d7c&e=7b2e1b8487>

This year is the third year running that *Briarpatch* has been denied
long-standing funding<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=53a1619382&e=7b2e1b8487>through
the Department of Canadian Heritage. And we’re not alone. Many
small, left-of-centre and openly opinionated publications have been defunded
in recent years, alongside a host of First Nations’, women’s, immigrant,
queer and environmental organizations. In the face of a Harper majority,
independent media is one of the last remaining safeguards of democracy and
justice. As a reader-supported publication, we depend on donations from
readers like you to keep the cogs turning. You can do your part to support
smart, progressive journalism that’s not afraid to hold power to account by
