Representation is not the goal. We must address the #culture in politics and name the ways we redistribute #power @EqualFuturesCA summit on advancing gender equality in #cdnpoli @FaeJohnstone @RaineLiliefeldt @d_owusuakyeeah @AnjumSultana mod: @kylieaadair @futureofgood

How are we defining success as progressive leaders? How do we decolonize our approaches to this work? What do we even mean by “progressive”? Thank you for all your work with Future Ancestors @larissa_speaks 🙏🏾❤️ you deserve all our time and resources #Broadbent2022 @broadbent

We need to organize around the care economy and recognize the power we have in communities to define what a just economy looks like #Broadbent2022 @pamelauppal @o_n_n @downeyty @broadbent Erin Filby @AECEO

We need to heal as leaders & have honest convos about dismantling white supremacy. As we do this, we must amplify and co create with Black and Indigenous leaders. This is our only way forward. @SamKrish_ shares the @oncanadaproject story & mission at #Broadbent2022 @broadbent

Insightful presentation by @GinaAgarwall at #TPHCRD2021 on the growing field of community paramedicine ~ leveraging paramedics to deliver primary care services to reach equity-seeking groups like seniors, rural areas, cultural groups. Eager to see more adoption of this model

Sharing our research on how community orgs disseminated #COVID #publichealth msgs & designed innovative strategies to combat #misinformation - all with limited resources. As a result, concerns of staff burnout + turnover are rising. #TPHCRD2021 @anitarena @westernuFHS @ldonell

what if instead of having Indigenous folk re-explain their trauma to us non-Indigenous folk, news/media ppl spent today holding politicians/leaders accountable for their lack of immediate action on #94callstoaction + #mmiwg #callstojustice?#TruthAndReconciliation #decolonizenews
