I love how @RGay closed tonight. While it’s really hard to critique our institutions once we’re part of the system, meaningful change can come from marginalized voices working constructively from within. Challenging systems takes courage. If not us, who? If not now, when? #Lind20

Roxane Gay responding to a final question: When you tell the truth you can make people feel uncomfortable and that’s okay. For students, you are well positioned to critique the institution. #Lind20

Today & every day, we urge you to learn about and give to organizations supporting the mental wellbeing of Torontonians, especially through these uncertain times. Here's a list of some of the great organizations doing the work in our own city. #BellLetsTalk #MentalHealthIsHealth.

Like @duncanmccue, the main downside of WFH for me is the loss of built-in exercise through year-round cycling. I'm creating a new routine with an end of day bike ride. The rest is a big improvement (productivity, family, mental health, financial, quality of life). #CCCheckup

5 ways civic engagement can help the south end community of Shelburne (NS) which is facing socio-economic and health impacts associated with environmental racism @DelisleLouise @inwhosebackyard #NSpoli #environmentaljustice

Note: 🇨🇦 has another @ShelburneTown in Ontario, not to be mistaken with the one in Nova Scotia. I almost tweeted @CouncillorSteve to ask why the town raised a Pan African flag for #BHM2020 when south end residents who have had roots there since 1783 don't have clean water.

I am sharing the new Africville Story Map that was created for the ENRICH Project by Lama Farhat at Dalhousie’s GIS Center. It uses text, maps, video, audio, and links to social media and news articles: arcg.is/1mWTCm

5. Bring issues of environmental justice to lawmakers (e.g. Bill 31, An Act to Redress Environmental Racism thechronicleherald.ca/news/p…)

4. Support civil society organizations that are dedicated to addressing environmental issues through the lens of equity and racial and social justice (@ecelaw and many others)

3. Help fellow residents understand that marginalized communities should not be further marginalized with a requirement to unilaterally finance public infrastructure for water access when others have not been required to do so
2. Lobby municipal authorities to secure funding for access to clean drinking water through the town's system - the same one that everyone else uses (and vote)
1. Ask what help they need (volunteering, fundraising for basic water supplies, capacity building for testing, etc.)
