@ratnaomi @VolunteerTO @Phil_journal The pandemic stretched resources & community needs but it also provides a unique opportunity to reimagine nonprofit labour. Thanks for uplifting this message and for your steadfast advocacy to improve the state of play.

@kathyrichardson Would love to learn more about what you’re seeing, feeling and hearing in Aus. We’re navigating a bigger paradigm shift, not just circumstances informed by local context.
