To me, July 1st celebrates the ongoing attempts of genocide against my family, culture, traditions, language, and more importantly - the land!

Not to mention our very existence as a human race

[Our] crisis is everyone crisis

We all breath, bleed, and love all the same...

Today is #Neskantaga ‘s 10,000th consecutive day of Boil Water Advisory. That’s 27 years 4 months 18 days. Canada’s longest #boilwateradvisory . This is something we are not proud of 🤮😞😭. Attached is the original #bwa notice. We never thought it would take more than 10K days

We the Earth bleeds, we all bleed

Let's stand together to say enough is enough 🤍🤍

@RealCdnSS @loblawco @LoblawCareers Just because customer appear visibly BIPOC doesn’t mean they’re going to steal, we deserve to shop in peace & not have to worry about someone following us or weaponizing police against our presence!!!!

[Alannah Mckay @AlannahMckay]

@RealCdnSS @LoblawCareers @loblawco I love being racially profiled, harassed & having police weaponized by your horribly trained APR staff. This staff was being agitative the moment I walked in, she was very hostile when all I was doing was grocery shopping.

[Alannah Mckay @AlannahMckay]

@loblawco @LoblawCareers @RealCdnSS What kind of training do they undergo bc this was racial profiling at its finest! Maybe try training staff in ‘What is racial profiling, micro aggressions, prejudiceness against Indigenous People’!!

[Dominic Beaudry @DhkBeau]

In Ojibwe our words for earth day are aki giizhigad (pronounced a-ki gee-zhi-gut). Also known as Mother Earth or Ishakikamikwe.

Within the last few months, there have been over 17 student-led walkouts in high schools across Canada. They are demanding transparent stand-alone sexual violence policies, consent education and awareness-raising. #MeToo #HighSchoolToo

If you have the means to tweet and panic-buy before this blizzard, please consider also giving to local centres whose grassroots work will be critical for those in need amid the expected conditions ‼️

[CFS-FCÉÉ @CFSFCEE]

We will continue to fight for a national vision for #PostSecondaryEducation in Canada to ensure that #Budget2022 is the last budget that leaves students behind.
