“We must be disruptive & distribute leadership as anti-colonialists.” @ICFP2022 hosted a tough but honest power shifting pre-conference, ensuring continued discussion throughout #ICFP2022. These convos (& action!) must cont. to take precedence when our community comes together.
I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv
Globally, 70% of the health & social workforce are 🚺. Nurses & midwives are a large portion of this. They have a relationship w/ their patients based on trust; & also know the cultures & practices of their communities, making them indispensable during an outbreak or emergency.
Health workers worldwide continue providing critical assistance to those affected by the #COVID19 pandemic, often through personal sacrifice.
I'm grateful for their courage, commitment and sacrifice.
