Announcing our brand new certificate on combatting anti-Black racism 📢📢📢 It will provide the Ontario youth sector with the knowledge to cultivate practices, policies and alliances that challenge anti-Black racism. REGISTER by Friday, Feb 26 @ 5pm: youthrex.com/abr-certificate
Two facts that shouldn't be debatable in 2020: 1. @serenawilliams is the #GOAT. #23 in the open era has NEVER been done before. Don't move the goalpost! 2. #BlackLivesMatter. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
Welcome to the first day of an academic year, unlike any other in the history of #YorkU. As a community, we are beginning this academic year with a renewed sense of who we are, what's important to us and how much we are truly capable of: youtu.be/flQDpTJS1zM #WelcomeYU (1/8)
Sept 9-10, 2020: #ScholarStrike Canada is hosting public digital teach-ins on the systemic violence that disenfranchises #BIPOC & is a function of slavery, carcerality and colonialism. Check out the Programme of Digital Teach-Ins scholarstrikecanada.ca/schedule/ via @wordpressdotcom
720/ "It is clear that Black youth...were overrepresented in stops conducted by Toronto police." & "The disproportionate stop-and-search rate of Black youth is not an appropriate response to a high crime rate among Black youth and does not represent...efficient police practices."
This takes practice. It also takes power. If you have the opportunity to back up the BIPOC ppl in the room, do it. If you’re a boss, all you need to do is repeat the statement and credit them. It can change the energy in the room
Black people were 3 times more likely than white people to contract the coronavirus, 6 times more likely to be hospitalized as a result & twice as likely to die of Covid-19. Anti-Blackness is a Health Risk Factor in the U.S. for real Racism’s Hidden Toll nytimes.com/interactive/20…
We must find ways to turn corners and go through doors that are closed to us #StayWoke #NoPermissionNecessary #SquadGoals #EveryoneIncluded
Today. Dream. Mighty. Change the World. Start where you are. With what you have. #SocialChange #SocialJustice #EquityMatters #StayWoke
#03 In Conversation ft. Gabrielle Fayant-Lewis, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of @A7G_Official, an Indigenous youth-led org. July 29 @ 1pm to 2pm How do Indigenous youth define safe spaces? What resources & supports do they need in urban environments? Register: bit.ly/30Ei7kh
Old tweet from @actforyouth that's still relevant in this #COVID19 era: “Youth workers are often at the centre of #youth lives but at the margins of decisions that shape #YouthWork. #ONyouth policy needs their voices too!“ Youth workers are key to better outcomes for #ONyouth!
"But how could boards not be crappy? A groups of volunteers who barely know one another, see 1% of the work, have little to no experience running nonprofits, are given vast power to supervise leadership and determine values, policies, and practices". nonprofitaf.com/2020/07/the-de…
I wrote this for BIPOC women starting their journey in academia, so that these cesspools of racism do not erode your precious self-esteem. ❤️🙏🏽 chronicle.com/article/A-Surv…
Our blogpost about this powerful Moment-to-Movement asks: Will this be the ONE that finally energizes us all to dismantle anti-Black racism forever and create a better future for Black youth? youthrex.com/blog/will-this…

A youth worker’s #SnoopDogg speech: I want to thank me for believing in every #ONyouth I want to thank me for not giving up despite systemic barriers I want to thank me for keeping it real with youth THANK YOU to every youth worker doing so much with so little #onpoli
Snoop Dogg: "I want to thank me for believing in me, I want to thank me for doing all this hard work... Snoop Dogg you a bad motherf---er" bit.ly/2zljZBE
