When you're at the grocery store checking for "Product of Canada" labels, remember that most of our domestic fruits and vegetables are grown and harvested by migrant farmworkers from Mexico, Jamaica, and the Eastern Caribbean.

Produced in Canada under a system of laws that benefits the multibillion-dollar agriculture industry at the expense of the migrant workers who sustain it.

Produced in Canada by migrant workers who pay into EI but are denied access to regular EI benefits.

Produced in Canada by migrant workers who, in Ontario, are denied the right to join a union.

Produced in Canada by migrant workers who are regarded by the state as good enough to work, but never good enough to stay – no matter how many years of service they put in.

Canada's history of systemic racism and exploitation in agriculture exposes the falsehood of the claim that "we are all in this together." Class consciousness demands more than exercises of purchasing power in difficult times. It demands solidarity with workers in our collective struggle for economic justice and liberation.

I am lying. The Palestinians are lying. The Lebanese are lying. Protesters around the world are lying. Journalists are lying. The UN is lying. PVA is lying. ICJ is lying. ICC is lying. Everyone is lying except Israel who are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

This is what Palestinian women are going through without anesthesia or painkillers. And they are forced to get up almost immediately to follow evacuation orders right after and move from one displacement to another.

Every time I check Twitter now I’m seeing black and Asian people being attacked by gangs of thugs in towns and cities around the country. We need to hear urgently from the government and they need to label this as the racist violence that it is.

police are nothing more than pawns upholding status quo of institutions, policies and power.

they are only present to serve and protect interests above and beyond the commoner

I wake up.
I think about Gaza.

I go to work.
I think about Gaza.

I eat.
I think about Gaza.

I play with my kids.
I think about Gaza.

I pray.
I think about Gaza.

I go to sleep.
I have nightmares about Gaza.

I wake up.
The cycle repeats.

Please help! Gaza, not me.

open your fucking eyes and recognise the pattern; they attacked during the super bowl, the grammys, the oscars and once again now during the met gala, all these westernised distractions so they can continue committing their cruel and inhumane genocide on the innocent people of 🇵🇸

I know men like these lack the emotional intelligence to even grasp the lived experience of giving birth, the least you can do is be in the room. It could be a life or death situation.

This is why we do the work we do at @NaseehaHelpline! I love it when I can introduce the helpline to people who've never heard of us before.

Someone knows someone struggling and doesn't have access to a culturally-safe therapist. We do!

My sister was added to her company's DEI committee since she's the token Muslim girl and they made her email the company about Ramadan and Eid

Yet the company made her work overtime in Ramadan and did not approve her time-off for Eid

DEI is a joke, performative, hollow
