Because #reproductiverights are #HumanRights

[CoverContraceptiON @Contracepti_ON]

Today, on #HumanRightsDay 2020, we sent an open letter (link below) demanding no-cost #contraceptionforall to @celliottability and @fordnation. If you agree that reproductive rights are #HumanRights, retweet and call on @ONgov to #CoverContraceptiON now!

Access to contraception is a fundamental right for women and girls. If you’re a healthcare worker, please consider signing our open letter urging the #Ontario government to implement universal, no cost contraception.

[Doctors For Defunding Police @DrsDefundPolice]

Dear #Toronto,

We are a group of 50+ doctors living & working with Black and Indigenous communities who have come together to say ‘Enough is Enough’

We demand the defunding of police & direct reallocation of resources because policing is a public health crisis

@SemirBulle THIS is advocacy 🙌🏻

[Black Medical Students’ Association at U of T @UofTBMSA]

This Morning, we would like to give a huge shout out to our Co-President @SemirBulle who was on @CP24 last night!

He does a truly fantastic job contextualizing what having the largest class of Black Medical Students in Canadian History means to our people.

Proud of You ❤️

[Black Medical Students’ Association at U of T @UofTBMSA]

This is Canadian history.

Dr. Chicka Oriuwa is the first Black Female Valedictorian of @uoftmedicine

You are an inspiration ❤️

[Nelson Saddler @nelson_saddler]

How would you have us protest? You ridicule us when we kneel. You beat us when we try to speak. You assault us and use tear gas when we are peaceful. So I ask you again - how would you have us protest?

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

Thank you to the wonderful group of students who have set up this #COVID initiative to:

(1) share info about domestic violence & helplines for survivors;
(2) provide support to local women's shelters;
(3) advocate for increased access to sexual & reproductive health services.

[Maria Leis @MariaLeis6]

SO proud of @justin_wj_lim for sharing his brave story; let’s all make sure we end the harmful discrimination and labeling practices which are currently entrenched in our healthcare systems

[Justin Lim @justin_wj_lim]

Thank you @CMAJ for letting me share what started off as only a reflection (??rambling of incoherent thoughts) written for a @UofTMDprogram assignment. We need to think twice about what we label as “risk factors” in medicine.

[Dr. Daniel Grossman @DrDGrossman]

To be clear: Abortion is NOT an elective medical procedure. It's essential healthcare and must be available during the pandemic. It can't be delayed. Patients can't wait until an undetermined later date to get an abortion. We need to make access available throughout the pandemic.

Proud friend 🤗🥰 great read, Maria!!!

"It is necessary that Canada makes a statement in promoting women’s reproductive health and empowerment by providing federally sponsored universal coverage to contraception." - @MariaLeis6, @uoftmedicine student.
