@naomiaklein.bsky.social on how the Surrealists confronted the horrors of the First World War – and why their work speaks to us today: ”Evisceration was as real and material for many of these young artists as their evident desire to burn it all down.”

Today, we remember all the lives we've lost to injustice.

One life is too many. We cannot stop until we know our loved ones can safely be themselves in this world.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.

In love, grief, and rage we honour the lives of those who we’ve lost to the violence of transphobia - including violence enacted through policy.

We encourage people to join Momentum Canada’s national strategy webinar on Nov.26.

Though most of our research focuses on 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and families disproportionately affected by bills 26, 27 and 29, it is imperative the public know how these bills will also negatively affect cisgender girls, write two experts.
