This coming Thursday, September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We urge you to recognize and educate yourself about the impacts of residential schools, and the historic and present marginalization of Indigenous communities in what’s currently known as Canada.
To show support, wear an orange shirt (being sure to purchase from an organization that is supporting Indigenous communities financially), donate to Indigenous organizations communities such as @grandmothersvoice , and take the time to reflect on the impacts of colonialism on Indigenous women and girls in particular.
We stand in solidarity, and we lean into discussions of truth, reconciliation, accountability and calls for justice 🧡
