Read the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Adopted in September '07, UNDRIP establishes a universal framework of minimum standards for the survival & dignity of Indigenous peoples globally.

There are things that no one talks about after leaving a toxic workplace or toxic team 🧵.

-the period of decompression you go through
-the bad habits you have to unlearn
-the closure that you never get

Orange Shirt Day should not be a called or turned into a “celebration”. It is our Remembrance Day. We honour and observe. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

Spending the day learning about #FoodSovereignty in Canada with @RRSocChange - so far the speakers have been incredible. You can join on FB live or follow #RRwithFood, and you should. This project has been life changing!

Speaker Su Deranger tells us "We can stop at nothing less than zero hunger... we need a radical overhaul, and that depends on all of us. We are the power."

[Ally @AProckford]

So far in June there have been multiple heartbreaking instances of #Islamophobic and #Homophobic violence across the country, and the discovery of two more gravesites at #ResidentialSchools.

So many of us are scared and grieving. Hold your community close; we are with you.

A third school found the remains of Native children buried under their school.

Think about that. Hundreds of bodies of children are being found. That’d be massive news if it wasn’t Native kids. Where is the outrage? Where is the support? Why doesn’t anyone care?

It's #MMIW Awareness Day.

You can find all kinds of horrifying statistics.
But I want to tell you about Indigenous women.

We are born from survivors. Our mothers and grandmothers survived boarding schools and empty cupboards.

We're funny as hell. We laugh hard.

[Righting Relations @RRSocChange]

Today on #RedDressDay we want to share words of hope, resilience, and love from our East Hub member @sacred411 as she reflects on women, water, and healing in our times.

Hi disabled and/or chronically ill friends,

What's something that you had to grieve in regards to your disability/chronic illness?

[Ally @AProckford]

@MissChisomo Oh that thought makes me feel sick with anger, especially when I think how utterly unsurprised I would be. But all the more reason to keep pushing for an end to this whole system.

[Ally @AProckford]

I have been learning a lot about accountability and transformative justice this past year, and thought this was important to share based on how many tweets I've seen calling yesterday's verdict "accountability".
