A fundraiser show for the legal funds of Ashwin Poggenpoel's family.
On June 18 2022 Ashwin Poggenpoel, a young Black man living in Saskatoon, was killed by the Saskatoon Police. Ashwin was scared, experiencing a mental health crisis and was seeking help. Despite Saskatoon Police receiving training on mental health and de-escalation through police college, all five members of the SPS who engaged with Ashwin that night violently arrested him under Section 20 instead of offering support, killing him in the process.
All the money raised from this show will be donated to the Poggenpoel family. https://chuffed.org/project/135740-help-ashwin-poggenpoels-family-secure-legal-funds
