Great conversation from all the panelists last night. Thank @oncanadaproject & @repasianproject for creating a safe space for the community to share their stories about Anti-Asian hate.
And when the interview contains a presentation or assignment, the candidate will be compensated for the labour associated with the preparation of the presentation/assignment at the hourly rate association with the position they're appling for at @FoodShareTO. 2/2
Preparing for an job interview is labour and candidates may even have to take time off work to attend an interview. I'm pleased to share that @FoodShareTO will now be compensating folks ($75) for their interviews (approx. 1 hr) to join our team. 1/2
Thank you to everyone that shared their story with us. We had such a wonderful time reading over them; they really warmed the cockles of our hearts up. We wanted to share how our efforts have had an impact on the community since we first started our initiative back in April.
Thank you to everyone that spread the word about Go Be Safe, to everyone that contributed to our initiative and for choosing to be a light during difficult times for the Canadian Asian community - and to all communities coast to coast.
We are now providing safe rides for all of Canada and where @Uber_Canada is available. We are truly humbled by the response and support that the community has given to us from the very start of our initiative, thank you.
For more details about this new program, please read over the ‘In Case of Emergency’ Voucher News Release in our https://t.co/T3qDE1jsPU.
We’d like to thank our Super Sponsor @Uber_Canada for their donation of ride vouchers. This program is made possible by their support!
Introducing the 'In Case of Emergency' voucher.
Our efforts to keep the communities in Toronto and Vancouver safe have expanded to include anyone and everyone that needs a safe ride or would like to offer a safe ride if they see an individual in a precarious situation.
Thank you @MochiMag for the interview and fantastic article. Read more about us here and other organizations helping the Asian communities in their cities!

We got your back! We are still distributing @Uber_Canada ride vouchers for Toronto and Vancouver. If you or know anyone in need of safe alternative travel and who is struggling with expenses and costs, fill out the Uber Ride Voucher request available in the link in our bio.
We ask that those people who are requesting a ride voucher are ones who are not able to afford alternative safe transportation. These vouchers will be good to use until July 31st, 2021.
We’d like to thank @Uber_Canada as a Super Sponsor of Go Be Safe for making this possible.
Go Be Safe stands with the LGTBQ2S+ community and wants to keep them safe.
We are offering 50 @Uber ride vouchers each with a credit of $25 to all members of the LGBTQ2S+ community who feel unsafe or fearful about being targeted in public spaces.
If you need a voucher to use over the weekend (Saturday+Sunday) please make sure to get your request in by Wednesday night, no later than 6:00 pm. A gentle reminder, for every ride voucher-request made that was not necessary, you are putting another person in actual need at risk
