I love how @RGay closed tonight. While it’s really hard to critique our institutions once we’re part of the system, meaningful change can come from marginalized voices working constructively from within. Challenging systems takes courage. If not us, who? If not now, when? #Lind20
Roxane Gay responding to a final question: When you tell the truth you can make people feel uncomfortable and that’s okay. For students, you are well positioned to critique the institution. #Lind20
Today & every day, we urge you to learn about and give to organizations supporting the mental wellbeing of Torontonians, especially through these uncertain times. Here's a list of some of the great organizations doing the work in our own city. #BellLetsTalk#MentalHealthIsHealth.
@worldofabe This struck a chord. @BlackHealthCAN is one of many nonprofit organizations that work towards systems change in addressing health inequities and incorporating social determinants of health into real solutions for marginalized people in Canada. Thanks @worldofabe
@duncanmccue You’re welcome. I have the privilege of living in the beautiful territory of the Coast Salish peoples where the mild climate makes four season cycling delightful. Plus, @ip_2020 and @SylvieFBerube inspire me 🌟
Like @duncanmccue, the main downside of WFH for me is the loss of built-in exercise through year-round cycling. I'm creating a new routine with an end of day bike ride. The rest is a big improvement (productivity, family, mental health, financial, quality of life). #CCCheckup
@School_GC@JimClemmer @TheClemmerGroup @SocDevSoc @ArianneReza_@PSPC_SPAC Was this event recorded? I'm sorry I missed @JimClemmer's
keynote on Change Leadership: Driving Forward. I'm also interested in hearing what the panelists had to say about successful change implementation.
Thank you Yao Zeus Mohammed @AFAMVancouver for introductions to photographer @davesworld57 and talented designers.
My wardrobe now includes beautiful African clothes for every occasion that were #madeinYVR.

@DelisleLouise@inwhosebackyard Note: 🇨🇦 has another @ShelburneTown in Ontario, not to be mistaken with the one in Nova Scotia. I almost tweeted @CouncillorSteve to ask why the town raised a Pan African flag for #BHM2020 when south end residents who have had roots there since 1783 don't have clean water.
I am sharing the new Africville Story Map that was created for the ENRICH Project by Lama Farhat at Dalhousie’s GIS Center. It uses text, maps, video, audio, and links to social media and news articles: https://t.co/kWyMzXrT7u

Environmental racism: “the disproportionate location or siting of polluting industries in communities of colour, Indigenous communities, Black communities and the working poor.” @iwaldron2165 @inwhosebackyard https://t.co/Pqf17RpwPA
@DelisleLouise@inwhosebackyard 5. Bring issues of environmental justice to lawmakers (e.g. Bill 31, An Act to Redress Environmental Racism https://t.co/BwbEtGxU1I)
@DelisleLouise@inwhosebackyard 4. Support civil society organizations that are dedicated to addressing environmental issues through the lens of equity and racial and social justice (@ecelaw and many others)
