Stop the Stack's Taylor McNallie has a court date on November 7, 2024 to appeal an undue jail sentence. But the charges keep stacking – they have ever since hate groups stormed an anti-racism event in Red Deer in 2020.

Support Taylor’s urgent legal and living costs’ fundraiser here – help us get to $5,000 by the court date!

Stacking charges is an international police targeting strategy rooted in racial capitalism and settler colonial expansion. The strategy includes police laying overly broad criminal charges (to stack them up) with an objective of coercing someone into a lesser carceral consequence than they are potentially facing – and can kickstart a cycle of criminalization.

P.O.W.E.R. is in solidarity with McNallie and her appeal. The relentless stacking of charges – now at 17 – is an example of unchecked police power that stretches across the settler occupation of Canada.

Police do not stop at charges when they are targeting us. In 2023, The Tyee reported on alleged police backlash against a healthcare worker who exposed a Vancouver officer’s role in community violence. The realities of police surveillance and harassment can make daily life stifling. 

Not only that, but support for Stop the Stack has received a near-media blackout aside from one story by Kiah Lucero on rabble.ca.
