Educators for Black and Indigenous Lives

We are non-Black, non-Indigenous Educators who want to amplify the voices of Black and Indigenous students, families, and colleagues #enoughisenough

[Pamala Agawa @agawap]

Ask yourself, what risks will I actively engage in to move anti-racism in a way that it benefits ALL learners- especially those who have been underserved in this system? Make that your plan moving forward. #antiracismEd

[KathyMcDonald @TrusteeMcDonald]

This also happens when institutions utilize Black labour to advise & volunteer for free to review and help fix their racist policies. Black bodies die doing anti Black racism dismantling ALL FOR FREE @olailu @IOrughu @AdvocacyPeel @DisruptingABR @VACAORG @PoBCAdvocate

When I hear non-survivors say how “heavy” learning/teaching about past & ongoing canada colonial violence and genocide is, I think to myself “heavy” is actually living it.

I would think this would be bigger news but 🤷🏾‍♀️

We call for the heads of all colonizer monuments and the elimination of all monuments to genocide #LandBack #ShutDownCanada #CancelCanadaDay

Don’t know much about art...but this looks like a masterpiece 🤩.

[D. Tyler Robinson (he/him) @DTylerRobinson1]

Morning y'all. FYI, 43 schools @ 6 different Ontario boards have signed on to run the anti-Black racism course we created. And we have completed a curriculum redraft after an exhaustive review of critical feedback from profs across country.
@Sflecce, why not all schools???

So hopeful & humbled after hearing educator strats/plans to act on reducing harm accross board-classroom using UNDRIP & TRC from Educators @FNMIAQPt2 @HaltonDSB @DPCDSBSchools @NickBertrand9 #stoodis 🤩👏🏽🤯 #allyship #uncolonizeed

[Claudette @ClaudetteR76]

We do not appreciate @OSSTF namedropping @POBCADvocate at #AMPA2021 in an attempt to prove "allyship". We stand with DABRAC. All day, every day

[NancyRowe @Giidaakunadaad1]

This is a call out for the development of specific consultation, consent and media release policies for ANYTHING involving indigenous Education, families and children. “INTENT” never justifys harmful “IMPACTS” 😕 #setitupright #donoharm #publicappology #215children

[Ahsén:nase @Ahsennase]

I'm spending the month of June telling my children's story "Coyote Boy" to classes online within @YRDSB

This morning I joined a gr2 class-yesterday gr1

I'm finding this a healing way of giving future gens a positive experience with an Indigenous person to carry forward-Nia:wen

And @HWDSB continues their pattern of gaslighting⬇️🧵⬇️
Chair Danko, there's no "maybe" about the silencing Ahona experienced, it's not something she just "felt"! IT IS WHAT HAPPENED! Stop the insidiously violent attacks to discredit her experiences. This is my daughter's life!

[Vanessa Stoby @vanessastoby]

Historic moment @torontolabour as Andria Babbington becomes the first Black Woman ✊🏽 to serve as President of the Toronto York Region Labour Council. @OFLabour

[NancyRowe @Giidaakunadaad1]

Is it appropriate for board to make statements on the issue? Survivors in my family say: No. Think about that... #215children
