Additionally:

• Our directors are routinely subject to derogatory comments about being Ingenious or Latinx and Jewish. The individuals claim that it is impossible to belong to more than one community. This has gone so far as individuals trying to have our Latin and other cultural events cancelled by harassing participating vendors and venue owners.

• Our belongings stolen and vandalized

• Volunteers have from marginalized communities have been publicly outted - putting them at personal risk. 

• Our online accounts, both personal and business targeted

• False information has been spread in our community with the sole purpose of damaging volunteers reputations and livelihood.

• Vendors and volunteers have been pressured to discontinue partnerships and financial support

• Volunteers have received racist materials and death threats

In September our Pride event was “Zoom bombed” in which one participant exposed himself while children were watching, Antisemitic and racial slurs were shouted at performers, Entertainers were personally threatened - and most disturbingly a video was shared of an individual murdering Jewish individuals. These videos were graphic and unfortunately there were many participants feeling emotional distressed after the fact.

The incident was reported to the Winnipeg Police, who to date have done little to address this matter.
