Reproductive rights = human rights

“You can reflect AND celebrate all the good of Canada!”

You’re telling me you reflected and decided that the appropriate response was celebration? Acting on reflection is the bigger part.

Canadians really do some mental gymnastics to justify their disregard for genocide.

abort patriarchy.

Today I am thinking about Barbara Kentner. Those who survived her and those who failed her.

Today we may be asked to reflect on what we have learned from #MMIWG2S- I have seen it already.

A reminder that Indigenous people’s lives should not be learning lessons.

[WGSSA @WGSSALU]

Daily reminder: white guilt/being uncomfortable will never compare to the centuries of systemic oppression and racism that BIPOC face.

[WGSSA @WGSSALU]

Daily reminder: human rights are not a political debate.

[WGSSA @WGSSALU]

Daily reminder: your activism is important but so is your mental health. Make sure you are prioritizing your own well being.

[WGSSA @WGSSALU]

Daily reminder: you deserve to eat today.

[WGSSA @WGSSALU]

If your feminism isn’t anti-racist, it isn’t feminism, its white supremacy.
