How will COVID-19 impact our city budget and how do we make decisions that don't reinforce inequities. Thank you @DublinInquirer for profiling the City of Toronto's equity responsive budgeting process as a potential solution. @FeministSarah @joshalerner

While we are distracted by the growing pandemic, US EPA is no longer enforcing pollution regulations. If we ever needed to protect a healthy environment it is now. Enviro pollution disproportionately affects low income and BIPOC communities. https://t.co/41997j8PZZ

In case you didn't know 50,000 migrant workers a year travel to canada to grow our food, but don't enjoy the same rights or protections (eg minimum wages) as canadian residents. Our current situation highlights their criticality.
