#OutLoudLGBTQI

[Embassy of Finland in the US 🇫🇮 @FinlandinUSA]

1/3 The road towards true #equality is long and there is still a lot to do. This is how #LGBTQI+ rights in #Finland have improved through the decades, thanks to advocacy groups and members of Parliament and Government striving for equal rights for everyone. #OutLoudLGBTQI 🏳️‍🌈

[Embassy of Finland in the US 🇫🇮 @FinlandinUSA]

Finland heartily welcomes the #US back to @WHO. Strong international co-operation in #COVID19 -response, #globalhealthsecurity and women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health and rights are needed more than ever. @Ulkoministerio

Human rights and development counselors in the #Nordic embassies in Washington will not let the colder climate in DC these days affect #Covid safe in-person meetings. 🥶 Warm soop a la @chefmikko and cold weather ❄️ survival skills did come in handy.

"A dog's nose knows #COVID19 even better than a man's best test," says the @TODAYshow.

At @HelsinkiAirport, dogs sniff passengers' sweat samples for early signs of the novel coronavirus. @NBC interviewed @helsinkiuni's @hielmb about the #coronavirusdogs experiment.

Yhdysvaltain korkein oikeus on antanut Trumpin hallinnolle luvan keskeyttää väestönlaskennan ennenaikaisesti. Mikä merkitys tällä on vaalien kannalta?

Näin sos. median aikakaudellakin vaalitaistoa käydään #USA’ssa myös etupihoilla 🏡. D.C:ssä demokraatit veivät v.2016 vaaleissa äänistä yli 90%, tukikylttejä vastapuolelle vaikea löytää myös nyt. D.C:n ulkopuolella kylttien ja mielipiteiden repertuaari kuitenkin toki kirjavampi.
