Almost half the world’s farmers are women. On a global scale, women produce more than half of all the food that is grown. #InternationalWomensDay #iwd2021 #IWD21 #ableg #cdnpoli #farm #food

We're wishing for equity & compassion for citizens living in poverty. We're wishing for an end to homelessness. We're wishing for an end to child poverty. We're wishing for increased health & happiness. We're wishing for an end to trauma inflicted by poverty. #cdnpoli #UBI

Exactly, at what cost? Families, lives, dreams are okay to sacrifice? #UBI can create equity by consolidating programs that already exist, reduce Poverty Inc (167,000 orgs spending $34B/year), decrease healthcare costs dramatically & many other systemic inefficiencies. #cdnpoli

Why tf do we need a fighter jet? We need #UBI. We need universal #childcare. We need to end #homelessness. We need clean #water for FN communities. We need #mentalhealth supports. What we don’t need is a fucking war plane. #cdnpoli

Do the @cityofcalgary's Governance, Land Use Bylaws, Zoning, Policy, Legislation, etc exclude, discriminate, marginalize or prevent the poor from participating fully in #YYC's economic, social & political activities? Asking for 30%+ of Calgarians. #yyccc @FriendsOfAHRC #ableg

There's a #FarmersProtest happening in Germany. But the German Govt didn’t block their path with barbed wires, dig highways or label them Anti-National. And neither did the Govt declare it an ‘internal matter’ where others can’t comment. I guess that’s how democracies work.

I hear a lot of people saying we shouldn’t give too much attention to the racist demonstration that took place in our city over the wknd because it’s giving these people air & attention they don’t deserve. I disagree. #ableg

And if you wanted to rent that apartment you would need $2000 to occupy (1st month’s rent & DD). This is why the affordable housing crisis is systemic abuse of our lower income citizens. #ableg @friendsofahrc #yyc

On the 70th anniversary of the UDHR, we asked the Alberta Human Rights Commission to join social media. They declined. Same on the 71st. Declined. Today, on the 72nd anniversary, we ask again. albertahumanrights.ab.ca/Pag… #ableg

“...but please don’t wait for government to tell you to do the right thing.” Good advice for lots of issues, like homelessness, food insecurity, racism, sexism...
