Today is World AIDS day and tmw I‘m teaching on the HIV/AIDS Crisis again. A shocking amount of students have zero knowledge of its devastating history.

Friends, the Canadian right wing is at it again. This time, they are demanding the release of EDI data for all Canadian tri-council applicatants’ demographic information, including students. This is a move for them to identity the “EDI” candidates. Please sign this petition or call your MP!

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Duaa. Duaa was a mom of five and was studying at university. She lost everything including her 2 month old son Salim in a bombing. She is trying to survive with Bilal, 9, Life, 6, Farah, 4 and Mohammed, 2. Farah has a severe skin condition.
