So inspired by meeting this powerful group of amazing advocates & community representatives in Ottawa 🇨🇦 yesterday.

Thank you to @LetsStopAIDS for the wonderful organizing and to the Honourable @Rob_Oliphant for co-sponsoring our meeting on Parliament Hill - the real place for people power!

There was so much wisdom, determination, care, passion, and love from the different speakers. I was profoundly moved by the compelling personal testimonies and strong solidarity with communities across the world. Friends, you made me feel strong!

And at this pivotal moment in the global AIDS response amid so much devastation & disruption, I am confident that Canadian civil society will continue to forcefully make the case for the continued investment of the Canadian government not only domestically, but also in the global #HIVresponse, including @UNAIDS and the @GlobalFund.
We are all stronger together. #endAIDS

📣Today is #YouthHIVDay and we are calling on world leaders to stop funding cuts. With over $50B in foreign aid cuts, millions of lives are at risk of losing treatment. We need global solidarity, leadership, and action.

✊Join us in calling for #ZeroCutsZeroCases

Elbows up, Canada.

Listening to Pierre Poilievre is truly embarrassing. Canada needs a strong and respectful leader, someone who can navigate the economic challenges ahead without leveraging ideological populism. Poilievre is certainly not that leader.

Visiting Hoymas, this amazing community-based organization that provides services for men who have sex with men in Kenya—a country where same-sex relations are still criminalized, leaving key populations without access to prevention and treatment due to fear.

Bogotá’s ‘LGBTQI+ houses’ are transforming support for displaced LGBTQI+ Venezuelans, writes @UCL Geography PhD Candidate @Ty_Valiquette in @NatCities.

[Gerson Scheidweiler @gerson_scheid]

Such an important topic that should have more attention! Congratulations @Ty_Valiquette

I'll be on CBC syndicated radio this morning, on ten radio stations across Canada, discussing the Venezuelan election and adding perspectives from my research/fieldwork.

[Gerson Scheidweiler @gerson_scheid]

This is shocking! Very well written article Congratulations!! @Ty_Valiquette @suyvonne

[Tyler Valiquette @Ty_Valiquette]

Of 7.7 million Venezuelans abroad, only 70,000 are registered to vote in this election. Their voice is being silenced. With @cvalenzu, @NorthwesternU & @suyvonne @YorkUniversity we examine the barriers & suppression tactics blocking their participation. https://t.co/l2Fl8H4Hzw
