Teachers are rising up. Our pension plan, one of the largest pension plans in the world, invests in war crimes. We are refusing to be complicit.

@OTPPinfo : it's time to divest.

“Solidarity isn’t exactly love, and it’s not the same as friendship; it is an understanding that our lives are bound up together whether we like it or not. It is, at bottom, about recognizing the humanity in each other, and this once again is what brings us to the fight.” 🖤

"The daycare's director said she's currently serving 43 children but the building has space for 88. Her struggle is finding and retaining staff."
👉Wage grid, benefits & pension would help. It's happening in other provinces. Catch up Ontario!

"When Putin did stuff like this in Ukraine we condemned him. When Assad did [it] in Syria, we condemned him. When Israel starves 100s of 1000s of people & shoots people who go to get flour, where is the condemnation from the U.S. government?"

[Diana Buttu @dianabuttu]

Israel is required to submit its response to the ICJ outlining the measures it has taken since January 26 to prevent genocide. Here is what they actually did. A 🧵

[Labour Against the Arms Trade @LAATCanada]

BREAKING: Picket lines at @ttm_tech in Toronto as we join @WBWCanada and @PalestineLabour to demand #CanadaStopArmingIsrael.

It’s the 1-month anniversary of ICJ ruling. If @JustinTrudeau won’t impose an arms embargo on 🇮🇱, workers will shut down companies complicit in genocide.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

“This is not a legitimate war. This is a genocidal campaign of extermination,” says Palestinian human rights attorney @4noura as Israel prepares to invade Rafah where millions of displaced people are trapped in Gaza. “This is a genocide. It must be ended. Unequivocally.”

[Labour Against the Arms Trade @LAATCanada]

Canada and the UK are “deeply concerned” that they will be found to be complicit in genocide.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

As millions of Americans watch the #SuperBowl, Israel has started its “military campaign” in Rafah, where many from northern Gaza have evacuated to shelter from bombs.

It’s slaughter.
It’s ethnic cleansing.
It’s genocide.

Free Rafah.
Free Gaza.
Free Palestine.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel told a million Palestinian civilians to seek refuge in Rafah, the designated ‘safe place’.

Israel is now intensely bombing Rafah through air, land and sea, in the middle of the night.

This is a genocide.

[missfalasteenia @missfalsteenia]

“Why are they bombing us??”

“They told us this was a safe zone!”

“They told us to come here, so why are they bombing us!?”

This woman just like many Gazans went to seek safety in Rafah but Israel is carpet bombing it as we speak.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

The Israeli military is bombing Rafah, the most densely populated area in the world, while Americans watch the Super Bowl. This is intentional. This is genocide.

We're demanding the world watching the #superbowl turn their eyes to #Rafah. #alleyesongaza #CeasefireNOW

[Liisa Schofield @LiisaSko]

Canada continues to arm Israel despite being a signatory of the genocide convention, despite the provisional measures from ICJ. The one action Canada took? Cutting funding to humanitarian aid to Palestinians thus deepening Canada’s complicity in genocide through starvation.

BREAKING: Trudeau Government Authorized $28.5 Million Of New Military Exports To Israel Since October

The value of the new permits authorized over 2 months exceeds the 30-year annual record high of $26 million in 2021. https://t.co/8jwbUbtc08
