These last 6 months have been hell on earth for children in #Gaza⚠️
Children have lost everything: loved ones, homes, playgrounds.
Their childhoods have been stolen & their rights denied.
We need a #CeasefireNOW. There is no alternative. It's the only way to save lives.

I can’t believe there are vaccine booster shots when almost 60% of the global population hasn’t even had a single dose. Where do they think variants come from? #covid #inequality

Yesterday, Israel bombed the office of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, a charity in Gaza that provides free medical care for Palestinian children in need. This is a war crime.

Eight Palestinian children were reported killed north of Gaza overnight, bringing to at least 40 the number of children killed there since 10 May. In Israel, 2 children, including a 6-year-old, were killed since the escalation began. #ChildrenUnderAttack

How fragile is democracy? The U.S. election should remind all of us not to take our democratic processes and institutions for granted.

Speechless at the state of the world. But proud that so many people are standing up and taking action to call for justice for George Floyd and every other minority who has been marginalized, targeted, harassed or worse, by those in power. #InSolidarity

Received this pamphlet in the mail yesterday and thought “the NDP should be better than this.” ALL political parties should be better than this. The Greens shouldn’t worry too much though... they’ve likely just increased their voter base as a result of the NDP’s pamphlet.
When they go low, we go high.
This week, the NDP sent out a card filled with lies about @ElizabethMay and the @CanadianGreens. Help us set the record straight and share this with all of your friends, especially those who are thinking about voting NDP.
