Ban Ki-Moon speaks warmly re: inspiring meeting w/ JFK when he was a young man. JFK told him boundaries don't mean much (despite the obviously significant border politics at the time). What is more imp is whether you are ready to extend yr helping hand to others. #ymcaignite2022

Ban Ki-Moon recommends the World YMCA prioritize the climate justice goal of "Sustainable Planet" from Vision 2030 or the others won't be here to solve. #ymcaignite2022

happy #IWD including and especially to trans women, sex working women, incarcerated women, Black and Indigenous women, and so many others who are partially or wholly rejected from the category of "woman" when it suits the needs of the status quo.
A reminder for #BudgetSpeech2022 If we don't pay for social impact in financial investment, we pay for it in our neighborhoods, cities & homes. It costs domestic violence, homelessness, school drop out rates, mental illness, & drug poisoning. Let's invest in each other. #abpoli

For the love of god, the answer isn’t just to get vaccinated.
The answer is paid sick days.
The answer is getting vaccines to millions around the globe.
The answer is publicly producing and distributing PPE.
The answer is our governments protecting us over corporate profit.

Like a lot of people, I've spent the past week reeling over the #FreedomConvoy and what it says about the current state of the Left.
People know the system is rigged against them. It's up to us to organize them behind a new story of how it's rigged.

The Black on the Prairies: teacher's guide. We heard from teachers and students across Canada about integrating the content of Black on the Prairies into their classes.
For the month of February, the teacher's guide is available for free.

We know its white supremacy & colonial violence. These attacks are not new. From the ongoing assaults on Hijabi women, most if not all Somali women, in Edmonton. To our young Muslim brother who lost his family in London, innalilahi wa innailayhi raji'un #bystanderintervention

This morning we heard from the Advocate for persons with disabilities. The UCP voted against receiving feedback from self-advocates. Due to COVID the ministry said they didn’t have time to hear directly from service users. Appalling NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US! #ableg – at Edmonton, Alberta

Congrats to all the pre-service teachers finishing up their practicums! Remember what your students taught you this semester, write down your new visions for your future practice (it's easy to forget this moment), and then get some rest.
