Congratulations to Manitoba for this incredible step toward universal contraception for all 🥳 We will continue advocating for Ontario and the rest of Canada to follow suit!
A victory for reproductive health rights! 🎉🔥 Yesterday Manitoba announced it would move forward with plans to make prescription contraception free for all residents. On the heels of BC, Manitoba’s decision shows the growing momentum towards universal contraception across Canada

I’m proud to share @OntarioNDP ’s initiative to expand OHIP by removing financial barriers to prescription contraception. @JennieStevens_ tabled this motion on International Women’s Day, and on November 29, we’ll debate it at Queens Park.

HUGE NEWS!!! Contraception for all will be up for debate at Queen's Park next week. Share your testimonials about how contraception has affected you to make reproductive justice a reality in Ontario. form.typeform.com/to/vrKvG6V…
Contraception access is about gender equity, full-stop. When the community comes together we can make meaningful change. That’s why I introduced legislation in March to provide barrier-free access to contraception. BC has done it. Manitoba committed to it. Ontario can, too. 🧵

What’s happening is Sudan is heart shattering. For those not in the country, we are in a state of constant anxiety and fear of the news of family and friends lives. For those in the country, I can’t even put that into words. #war #SudanCrisis

Hoping to be able to do this one day for Ontario in Arabic
My article in @Hamyaari magazine about BCs free contraception policy in Farsi. So important to let non English speaking women+ know about this new policy. Spread the word! @AccessBC
