New picket lines are going up across B.C. (📍 see image)
This fight is about keeping public services strong — and we’ll be here however long it takes. ✊

Not "all white people" are wrong. But when it comes to race, the majority of white Americans have been on the wrong side of every single racial issue in the 248-year history of this country.
So why would anyone even care what they think about Black art? dlvr.it/THvTkh

Feeling heavy as I prep to face a government that would rather attack trans rights than address the urgent issues in our province.
I know our trans friends and neighbours are feeling it so much worse.
Be there for them.
Be kind. Be an ally.
And be loud for those who can’t.

Our daily 'BC Votes' micro-pod is up, where I have more soapbox thoughts than usual on the way the 'doom and gloom' picture the BC Conservatives are painting of our beautiful province.
And all the shout outs to our fave moderator, Shachi Kurl

For a party that is trying to win the votes of young men, this is a strange proposal. Private auto insurance costs young male drivers thousands $$ more in car insurance premiums. #bcpoli
NEW - @JohnRustad4BC says he will end ICBC's monopoly on basic auto insurance, opening up the province to private competitors. Also says he'll allow people with "life-altering injuries" out of the no-fault insurance system to sue for compensation -- not immediately clear if this means total elimination of no-fault insurance or not.

I have sent this exact text, twice. I know the impacts of gun violence because I have lived them.
To every single person who is voting for Donald Trump in November, this is the consequence. The blood of every single child who dies of gun violence in America is on your hands.

Weird, I heard the purpose of the 'postmenopausal female' was to smash the patriarchy.
NEW VANCE AUDIO: In an interview from 2020, JD Vance agrees with a podcast host who says having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”
He also agrees when the host says grandparents helping raise children is a "weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman."

As my business partner @parmerellakk says in the article, since launching the firm women across Canada have reached out to join the company. "It's humbling and also empowering."

It’s exciting to see the organizing and momentum in the US that will ultimately protect human rights and women’s rights that are at risk or have already been taken away.
Let’s channel that in BC this fall to protect the policies that advance gender equity in our province.

Both Jewish and Muslim children across the world are being harmed because of what is happening in the Middle East.
Jewish people have the right to be safe.
Palestine IS under occupation.
It's not one or the other.
Its both.

Recommendations in the B.C. Period Poverty Task Force report include increasing menstrual health education.
There are so many myths because of stigma and lack of education.
