📣No one should be forced to work two jobs to pay rent, choose between medication and groceries, or see their child fall behind because of childcare costs.

When we all thrive, the economy thrives, too.

For the 🇨🇦 women's rights and feminist organizations at #CSW69, news of the removal of the Women's and Gender Equality from the Cabinet comes as a major disappointment.

This sends the wrong message.

Some of us have come together to draft a statement.

This is what the "common sense" revolution gives you when a tragedy strikes...

"Common sense" = anti-intellectualism + lack of empathy

Who could have guessed?

Yesterday's Fall Economic Statement included a major advocacy win for us at @actioncanadashr.bsky.social

This groundbreaking win means Canadians will continue to have access to essential SRH services like abortion care, STI prevention, and more.

Advocacy works, friends!!!

I guess it's time to share my creative hobby here.

If it wasn't obvious from the IUD earrings in my profile photo, I *really* like to make silly earrings.

Yesterday, I participated in the opening plenary of the Canadian Council for Refugees annual consultations ✨️

The session on Reclaiming Power Across Sectors was an excellent opportunity to discuss Action Canada's work supporting uninsured people with access to vital reproductive healthcare.
