These last 6 months have been hell on earth for children in #Gaza⚠️

Children have lost everything: loved ones, homes, playgrounds.

Their childhoods have been stolen & their rights denied.

We need a #CeasefireNOW. There is no alternative. It's the only way to save lives.

Thursday’s roll-out is the official start of The Yellow Bus Project and Cruz's house is the first stop for the NRA Children’s Museum, which is coordinated by @ChangeTheRef.

The non-profit aimed at spotlighting mass shooting awareness and reducing the NRA’S public influence.

I can’t believe there are vaccine booster shots when almost 60% of the global population hasn’t even had a single dose. Where do they think variants come from? #covid #inequality

Booster jabs for rich countries will cause more deaths worldwide, say experts https://t.co/rVlkDOFOUN

Just horrified at this senseless hate-driven crime. My love, support and compassion goes out to Muslim families and communities everywhere in Canada tonight. https://t.co/4kenKWbCZu

11 children killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza were getting treatment from an NGO to help them cope with trauma, says humanitarian group NRC.

The youngest was 5, killed with her two sisters. Israel's airstrikes have killed at least 63 children.

Yesterday, Israel bombed the office of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, a charity in Gaza that provides free medical care for Palestinian children in need. This is a war crime.

[Ted Chaiban @TedChaiban]

Eight Palestinian children were reported killed north of Gaza overnight, bringing to at least 40 the number of children killed there since 10 May. In Israel, 2 children, including a 6-year-old, were killed since the escalation began. #ChildrenUnderAttack

This is heartbreaking.

@JustinTrudeau - All Canadian children and their families held in ISIS detention camps should be brought home immediately. Every single moment spent in those camps is a violation of their rights. If Canada won’t stand up for children’s rights, who will? #nochildindetention

How fragile is democracy? The U.S. election should remind all of us not to take our democratic processes and institutions for granted.

I hope that at some point we start talking about how America’s gun violence epidemic is inextricably linked to police violence https://t.co/J6sq2ZPIrF

Speechless at the state of the world. But proud that so many people are standing up and taking action to call for justice for George Floyd and every other minority who has been marginalized, targeted, harassed or worse, by those in power. #InSolidarity

Received this pamphlet in the mail yesterday and thought “the NDP should be better than this.” ALL political parties should be better than this. The Greens shouldn’t worry too much though... they’ve likely just increased their voter base as a result of the NDP’s pamphlet.

[David Merner @DavidMerner]

When they go low, we go high.
This week, the NDP sent out a card filled with lies about @ElizabethMay and the @CanadianGreens. Help us set the record straight and share this with all of your friends, especially those who are thinking about voting NDP.
