When 24-year-old Leisha Dixon posted a video of her neighbour’s racist rant on Facebook, she only expected a couple of people to see it and comment. Now, just over a week later, thousands of community members have seen the video — and on July 12, some held a rally outside of Dixon’s home to let her neighbour and the rest of the community know that racism is not OK. “I was so shocked by the response, and to see the support today has been crazy,” said Dixon. “It is really great to see people standing up for this. It (racism) happens to me and it happens to a bunch of other people here, too, and this is giving us a voice.” According to Dixon, her neighbour has been harassing her since October.
