Meet Amy Collisson-Sieben & her husband Jason Sieben from Red Deer AB (middle photo c.2017)
1/ 2/ Amy and Jason Sieben have been busy deleting their online information but I caught some screenshots from their Facebook accounts last night.

Amy's public posts today vs yesterday

🧵 Here's @MourraMahmoud saying with his whole chest that he'd rather be a "Zionist than a hypocrite." He's choosing to prioritize his rabid hatred of🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈community over standing in solidarity with #FreePalestine

This man is a danger to his community
1/8

2/ Mahmoud Mourra's thirst for political power blinds him to the reality that the Conservative Party doesn't give a fuck about Palestine

In a recent poll commissioned by @nccm Conservatives had the least support for Palestine of all political parties by ~30%

Calgary antifascism/antiracism activists have a long history of standing with & for our Muslim siblings. We stood arm in arm to defeat white supremacists battling M103 in 2017. Islamophobia is hate. Hate is not welcome here. Many of us have forged beautiful & lasting relationships that crisscross queer & Muslim identities as a result.

We stand by & for each other. Our bonds of mutual respect are strong.

Let me correct a rumour going around that one of the local "freedom" groups is organizing an anti-2SLGBTQ+ rally at Calgary City Hall tomorrow.

The protest is being organized by a charge of conservative Muslims under the banner of their fb group YYC Muslims This fb group is not widely supported by the larger Muslim community. It's led by a man w/a concerning reputation for misogyny, homo- & transphobia. He is extreme in his conservative ideology, planting seeds of discontent leading up to the #AbElection2023

1/ 2/ The protectors outnumbered the protestors by about 60-12. All performers & patrons were kept safe although I really hate that the young performers had to leave out the back door for their own safety.

Let’s take a look at the protestors
