@yipengGe I’m a former pride board member who lead discussions with Queers for Palestine last year. So sad what’s happened. I agree don’t believe Capital Pride they are made up of gov hacks who serve their corporate masters #FreePalestine#ottawapride
@FierteCapPride shame! Last year I was vilified on the board for building bridge to Queers for Palestine to avoid this. Now who’s left are a bunch of gov hacks who care more about appearance and appeasing corporate interests.
I hope you got the reality check. #FreePalestine
Tomorrow morning the Liberal govt plans to deport Charles Mwangi, a bisexual activist, back to Kenya where he's certain he will be killed
Let's tell minister @MarcMillerVM to stop this deportation. I'll share every message you post for the minister. Please speak up for Charles!
The final push to prevent the deportation of Charles Mwangi.
Tell the Federal government and Minister @MarcMillerVM to stop the deportation and upending this man's life.

Glad to hear that @PSACNCR is still attending Pride despite the Public Service Pride Network decision to pull out.
From what I've been hearing, the decision was made undemocratically by higher ups with little to no consultation.
Unions always have their workers backs ✊️
Canada should 💯celebrate humanitarians.
So why did @HonAhmedHussen cut UNRWA funding as Gaza starved? Funding was re-instated, but there's been no accountability.
Why has 🇨🇦 stopped demanding answers for the IDF killing of a citizen working for @WCKitchen?
We must do better.
Dear Capital Pride team,
As a community member and resident in Ottawa, thank you and I love you.
I want to share my deep respect and support to you all as organizers who have outlined a principled stance and reasonable actions to commit to in solidarity with the Palestinian people facing an ongoing genocide in Gaza.
I and many others are so grateful for your efforts to remind our community in Ottawa that pride is a protest, pride is about advocacy, and pride is about dismantling systems of oppression for all people in this world.
A group of healthcare professionals have penned this letter against the decision of @CHEO and @OttawaHospital, and we are working hard to collect more signatures for support. Letter: https://t.co/ol6z9d3IZt
With all the appreciation in the world - in solidarity with you all and with Palestine,
Yipeng
Frustrating to see local politicians and large orgs like @CHEO claiming to speak on behalf of the Jewish community in relation to the Pride statement when really they're only speaking to some Jews.
I'm a Jew in solidarity with Palestine who will be attending Capital Pride.
@M_Johnston1 All these corporations never cared about LGBT rights just wanted a place to pink wash their genocide / war supporting money. Pride is a protest that will never change
