@BBCWorld One day after this post a Gaza hospital is bombed indiscriminately by Isreali military. Your “click bait” posts are shameful. Do better and don’t make covert excuses for condoning the mass murder of Palistinians.
🧵 Demand Inclusion has prepared two letters to Convocation concerning important and timely issues: fees for certain members of our profession, and law student voting in LSO elections.
You can support us by signing on to the letters. More details below. ⬇️
Sign this letter if you believe licensees who are under 5 years of call (given the current realty of law school debt) should have the same fee structure as those who are over the age of 65.
Data from Statistics Canada shows more than half of the job losses last year were from people who had temporary work; 31% of unemployment is among people who are self-employed; and all job losses were among people who had lower than average wages. https://t.co/XnS3nHVu0f
There is just so much to unpack in this incredibly powerful piece. First, the brutal numbers: 4.7% of Ontario’s population is Black, yet only 3.2% of Ontario’s lawyers are Black. Despite these numbers, only 35 of approximately 4000 Bay Street partners (or 0.8%) are Black.

People always say Newfoundlanders can't stop talking about the weather. Well b'y we're going to talk your ears off for a year after this. #nlblizzard2020
Is NO ONE going to talk about @sarahsbag monetizing off the Lebanese revolution by making “revolution scarves”? 0% of the $ goes toward the cause, I’ve asked. #ثوره_لبنان_الجديد
🎉 WE DID IT 🎉
By noon today, we exceeded our target of 200!
We received ~278 signatures in a week!!!!
THANK YOU!

I do hope that, regardless of today’s outcome, all Benchers make a serious commitment to EDI initiatives. This isn’t a novel concept: the public needs to see themselves reflected not only in the judiciary, but in the profession generally. #LSOConvocation
