We all have a role to play as we move towards Truth & Reconciliation. We need to learn and understand our shared history as we journey towards a stronger and healthier future, with relationships rooted in mutual understanding and respect. https://t.co/uqby6bGOka

[Disability Without Poverty @Disability_WP]

People with disabilities want to be able to buy groceries, pay rent, and afford their accessibility equipment and medication. They deserve food and housing security like the rest of us.

Sophia isn't misinformation; she was a person who deserved better. Not at end of life, she was approved for MAiD due to disability. Her suffering was due to lack of supports, supports she tried to get for yrs. Exhausted and beat down after yrs of trying, she elected to take MAID.

BC's first anti-racism data legislation, co-developed with Indigenous Peoples and in collaboration with racialized communities, will help make sure barriers are removed for Indigenous, Black, and people of colour in BC. https://t.co/M4vN99q8vt

@BCANDS1 @FSIBC will donate $1000

[IDC/BCANDS 🇨🇦 @BCANDS1]

Going to contact the reporter and give a $1,000 to help this person out. We need 100 other organizations / people to do the same. This is unacceptable, this is not who we are Canada. I'm asking all Canadians for your help, Please share, please help.

It will take me 2 seconds to put on my mask after the mandates are lifted, if those two seconds help to protect someone who is immunocompromised from getting sick or worse from COVID, I can't think of a better use on my time. Mandates are going, your responsility to others isn't.

We're proud to be supporters of the campaign "Strengthening Access to Justice"!

Things are likely to shift a number of times over the next few weeks. Using consistent, right-based language is going to be very important. #SayDisabled, name rights holders, be clear about the very important language of #PublicHealth orders, in #bced and all other areas. 14/14

[BCEdAccess @BCEdAccess]

It can also deny access to rights. Disabled people have #HumanRights protections. Exceptional people do not. Vulnerable students is a defined term by #bced but was not used here. What about kids in care? Indigenous students? 7/?

[BCEdAccess @BCEdAccess]

Lots to unpack. First, why can't anyone #SayDisabled? It's not a dirty word. And in this case, without it there's no clarity about who is meant. Exceptional needs? There's no definition for this term on the #bced website. It is used in some other jurisdictions but not in BC. 6/?
