We join 90 orgs in expressing disappointment. #Budget2023 backpedals on govt promise to increase aid, leaves behind low-income countries & undermines our standing in the🌍. Tell your MP to #KeepThePromise! @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @HarjitSajjan #cdnpoli bit.ly/3nvfYXz

I was honoured to join a panel of activists I greatly admire to talk about anti-racism & decolonizing the AIDS response.
We must tackle systemic racism with urgency. And yet we were mostly talking to ourselves! people with power & privilege didn’t show up! #AIDS2022

Canada is blessed to host #AIDS2022 — yet, with a day to go, no one from the Canadian government has shown up. This is not leadership. @JustinTrudeau has a responsibility to address the Closing Ceremony.
@ProfAdeeba @ProfSharonLewin @iasociety @SaldanhaVP
The #HIV response requires a bold champion to help avert millions of needlessly lost lives.
I cordially invite you, @JustinTrudeau, to address the global HIV community at the #AIDS2022 closing ceremony to outline your vision for the HIV response at home and around the world.

@paimadhu I share your outrage at the racism entrenched in global health. I join your call for allyship that empowers ppl in the global south to be self-reliant & self-determined. We must put power in the hands of those who experience racism. #AIDS2022
We are at #AIDS2022 taking action to #FightForWhatCounts! While Canada missed an opportunity to pledge towards the @GlobalFund this weekend, we are hopeful that @JustinTrudeau will step up with #1Point2Billion at the 7th replenishment in Sept @sophiarseneault

Another great meeting this morning for @GlobalFund Hill Week with MP @GregFergus!
Canada must finish the fight against HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria with a renewed commitment into the Gllobal Fund's 7th replenishment. #1point2billion #FightForWhatCounts

Great article by @Be_Hanna1 on the colonial dynamics in place during the global #Covid response
As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we, as advocates for #HealthEquity, must confront the reality that the legacy of colonialism is alive & well, & reflect on how we can intentionally weave anti-oppression into our advocacy.
