🔴 May 5 is #RedDressDay, a day that represents and reminds us of the ongoing crisis, urgent need for action, and #CallstoJustice for #MMIWG2S peoples.
✊ As we reflect on these important messages today, let’s stand together in solidarity to support survivors and their families.
Without protests, we would still live in a segregated country.
Without protests, women would still be second class citizens.
Without protests, the LGBTQ+ community would still be hiding their identities.
How can we as an institution sustain an inclusive and safe environment for our students when we invite speakers that willingly spread misinformation - actively harming our student population. I’ve heard from multiple students who have read this tweet and now feel unsafe. It’s sad
It’s so disappointing to see misinformation regarding protests being spread especially from a well respected scientists that’s been invited to my institution. As scientists in a post COVID world, we know better than to spread false information and narratives.
Equating anti-war/pro-Palestinian rights protests as pro-hamas is problematic especially given the number of reputable media outlets that have stated the encampment organizers are focused on anti-war efforts, similar to what happened during the Vietnam war or apartheid S. Africa
#GradStudent scholarships and #Postdoc fellowships got a raise today for the first time in 21 years🙌
Immensely grateful to all those who have been pushing for this. It truly takes a village!
Still processing and will have more thoughts soon! But overall this👇 is great news!
It will always amaze me how @uOttawa will find ways to charge their student associations with different fees just to use open spaces on our campuses…..I know times are tough but why charge the student associations that already don’t have much financially
From the March 19 press conference, PhD student and SOS ED Kaitlin Kharas talks about the importance of grad student research and how poor pay is forcing them into poverty and driving a brain drain of some of Canada’s most talented scientists and researchers #SupportOurScience
Could you guess how much of tons of rubble is above them ?
A new massacre in Nusirat refugee camp after an Israeli airstrike on a house that contained more than 20 person
Till now they extracted 17 and all of them passed.
My list of reasons to never recommend @uOttawa continues to grow. This institution makes it okay for professors to say the n word in class but a resident can’t use their personal accounts to promote ceasefires. This institution has fallen too far!
I am disturbed & appalled at the suspension of Dr. @yipengGe from @uOttawaPHPM. He is amongst numerous healthcare workers being targeted for speaking against the violence in Palestine. Please sign and share widely. He does not deserve this. -- https://t.co/5qHkEdeYDY
Gaza has taught me that a lot of people who claim to be human rights activists are only active when it applies to people of a specific background or ethnicity.
To all Canadians:
The House of Commons has finally officially initiated a petition for a ceasefire. Please sign and share with your social circles.
