The 'Voices In Recovery Podcast' takes a hard-hitting turn in this episode titled 'Injustice', where the host, David Lewry, delves into the complexities of activism, police encounters, and the ongoing struggle for human rights. This episode is not your typical recovery story, but rather a candid exploration of the intersection between personal recovery and social justice.
The discussion kicks off with an account of the May 9th anniversary, a day marked by police brutality against unarmed students at the University of Calgary encampment. David shares his own experiences and those of fellow activists who have been approached by police intelligence officers under the guise of 'community building'. The conversation moves through a maze of emotions, from disbelief to determination, as David and his guest recount the militarised police presence at peaceful protests.
It's a story of courage and resilience, as they refuse to be silenced despite the intimidation tactics used against them. The episode also touches on the broader implications of these events, highlighting how systemic issues in law enforcement affect various communities. Listeners are urged to consider their own rights and the importance of standing up against injustice, no matter how daunting it may seem.
With a mix of humour and hard truths, this episode challenges you to think about your role in advocating for change. If you're looking for an episode that combines personal anecdotes with a call to action, 'Injustice' offers a raw and honest perspective on the fight for justice and equality.
