Ramadan Mubarak! We wanted to learn how to support our Muslim colleagues during the holy month of Ramadan. Here's a resource shared by Asma Al-Jawhari, Admin Assistant at @changeopenly. https://t.co/Rxcg0nQnjK

Woot!

[Dr. Notisha Massaquoi @NotishaMassaqu1]

My conclusion will always be the same but you never know what people take away from a workshop on anti-Black racism.I can say that @ChangeOpenly got it right! Congrats to @o_n_n for your continued leadership in the non-profit sector & for the courage to start this conversation.

We have your back - that was the main message of a letter @ctaylor_onn wrote to our network two years ago. We could never have predicted what happened next. These are some of ONN’s reflections and five key takeaways for the nonprofit sector. ⬇️ https://t.co/olvl1tU38K

I'm so thrilled to be working and co-facilitating courageous conversations with Sabina Ansari, Purveyor of Perspective and a new Associate at @ChangeOpenly!

[Lisa Villeneuve @LisaWatsonCo]

Yes! It's way past time for decent work & economic justice for women (particularly racialized women) in the NFP sector. Great work @o_n_n @pamelauppal

[Ontario Nonprofit Network @o_n_n]

What do we want? Decent work for women in the nonprofit sector.

When do we want it? Now!

Economic justice for our women-majority sector IS possible. Learn how: https://t.co/TJD2K9idUw

[Lisa Villeneuve @LisaWatsonCo]

Huge thanks to Asma Al-Jawhari for sharing her story and leading a courageous team discussion this week about how communications can strengthen or hinder #equity.

My colleague Manju Raveenthran and her friends wrote and self-published this gorgeous children's book & video. They wanted to create a story that Tamil children could enjoy and connect with. You don't need to speak Tamil to enjoy it. Beautiful! https://t.co/Xg3DqgWd2h

Choose the data you really need to collect, gather it thoughtfully, draw insights collaboratively. I'm looking forward to the new DEAL Strategy for Ontario's #NFP sector! @o_n_n @Ajah, @pwrd_by_data @ONTrillium #PartnerLove

@SenatorWanda was my first anti-racism teacher at @DalhousieU in the early '90s. Highly recommend this opportunity to learn from Dr Bernard, Delores Mullings and other leaders about Africentric Social Work. #BHM

[Lisa Villeneuve @LisaWatsonCo]

@CathyJMann I offered that but they said they'd prefer the items. I think critical staffing shortages are making it really hard for shelter operations.

[Lisa Villeneuve @LisaWatsonCo]

After 4+ years at Fora, we will be sad to see Bailey Greenspon leave this spring to pursue new projects and passions.

On the bright side, we can't wait to meet our next Director, Programs & Advocacy.
