Today is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discriminations and we want to reaffirm our commitment to ending racism in all its forms. We recognize strength in diversity and inclusivity.

What do you think of the term “developing countries”? Ever felt uncomfortable saying “beneficiaries”? Oxfam introduced a new Inclusive Language Guide and sets out why it’s time for all of us to consider the power in the words that we use.

Thank you to the MPs on #CIIT committee for inviting @OxfamCanada to testify yesterday on environmental and human rights impacts of 🇨🇦 #mining abroad. Governments should hold companies accountable with human rights due diligence legislation now. @SeamusORegan @mary_ng #cdnpoli

Powerful testimony from @cnca_rcrce Emily Dwyer today on why weak bills like #S211 are a distraction and could kill momentum for real corporate accountability reform.

[Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability RCRCE @cnca_rcrce]

🔴@CNCA’s Emily Dwyer says proposed supply chain law #S211, “as currently drafted, is so meaningless and potentially damaging that our network would recommend MPs vote ‘no’ if the bill were to advance to third reading”.

Communities on the frontline of the climate crisis are impacted the most yet are the least responsible. Countries like Pakistan are facing the consequence of inaction and bear the loss and damage caused by #ClimateChange.
