FACT: Women cannot have social and economic equality without bodily autonomy. No matter who it is, every woman should have the right to make healthcare decisions for herself.

"A lack of political will to alter the status quo manifests itself most strongly in the way child welfare systems diminish Indigenous cultures and values in favour of non-Indigenous models of parenting." @MMIWG Final Report #MMIWG #CallsForJustice

We would love to hear exactly how it’s “pro-life” to shut down critical medical research on deadly illnesses like HIV, childhood cancer, and Zika virus.

“It didn’t start with white women; that’s not the point of entry into women having political voice. Indigenous women have had a political voice in their nations long before white settlers arrived.” Sally Roesch Wagner https://t.co/gjOjdRjeSk

Among Canada’s provinces, Ontario is the lowest per capita spender. Ontario is last in total spending – 10th out of 10. The lie that spending is out-of-control is being used to fuel the dismantling of our transit, healthcare and schools. Shameful. https://t.co/b4OiIxSQN2
