Your #onted public school workers have been working hard to help prevent/stop this genocide and support the rights of Palestinian Human Rights here and around the world.
Here is a running thread of our initiatives.
Stay tuned for more!
HAPPENING NOW: Teachers, parents and allies are inside and outside of the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan AGM demanding this pension, one of the biggest in the world, divest from the companies arming war crimes and the murder of children.

Canadian Palestinians have endured nearly 24 months of watching the incessant bombing, the forced starvation, and the targeting of their innocent loved ones.
They are asking for concrete steps & consequences to stop the horrifying violations of international humanitarian law.
Dear @PaulCalandra@DavidPiccini,
Please receive our letter re: ignoring racist advocacy & creating safe, caring, & inclusive schools for all, including Palestinians.
We emailed, mailed, & tagged you.
We know you like to ignore us.
Sincerely,
#onted Public Education Workers

The @TorontoStar editorial board calls for a two-way arms embargo on all military equipment and components to Israel, including through third states.
Canada must do more to bring an end to the unconscionable death and destruction in Gaza https://t.co/T7LMwVqoDW #ArmsEmbargoNow
Last week, the #ArmsEmbargoNow coalition released a report by @WBWCanada & @palyouthmvmt exposing the truth about Canada’s arms shipments to Israel. The 🇨🇦 govt’s web of lies has been exposed & their complicity in genocide vs Palestinians is now on full display.
Chris Smalls is a friend of the Institute and a former special guest at the Progress Summit who spoke about the value of collective action.
The news last night of his treatment as a detainee, after sailing to Gaza on a peaceful humanitarian mission to challenge the blockade, genocide, and get much needed supplies to Palestinians, is incredibly painful to hear.
Chris is a US Citizen and has asked all friends, family and allies to advocate for the US state department to work towards his release from Israeli detention.
The Broadbent Institute echoes calls for his release.
We call on @CanadianLabour, national unions, federations and labour councils across 🇨🇦 to declare all products, services and relationships w 🇮🇱 “Hot Cargo” not to be touched by workers of conscience. https://t.co/waLH4t56NW. No Labour for Genocide! #Canlab#canpoli#cdnmedia
