Central to the community’s campaign is a demand for accountability from institutions implicated in the case. Calls for thorough investigations and disciplinary action against those responsible reverberated through the community, as residents refused to accept silence or impunity.
Shaping the Narrative: Advocating for Ethical Reporting
In addition to holding authorities accountable, community members are advocating for ethical reporting standards in media coverage of the Justin Beaton Racine case and others like it. They insist on accurate, balanced reporting that respects the dignity of survivors and avoids sensationalism or victim-blaming.
Empowering Survivors: Providing Support and Resources
