BC's child care system is struggling... without fairly paid Early Childhood Educators. Ask the Premier, Ministers + your MLA for an ECE wage grid of at least $30-$40/hour: nwmd.io/s/twitter/Zx41ATXEHP… via @10aDayPlan, attn: @Dave_Eby @GraceALore @KatrineConroy @RachnaSinghNDP

For the people in the back: “MORE PEOPLE DIE OF OVERDOSES AFTER POLICE SEIZE DRUGS.” Prohibition does not make our communities safer. Criminalization does not accomplish what it claims to.

Here in BC there's been good progress on reducing childcare fees but until there's at least a $30-$40/hr wage grid for early childhood educators there will never be enough quality licensed childcare to meet the needs of all families #10adayplan #childcarebc #bcpoli

👏👏👏 "comparable to positions in the public sector" 👏👏👏
Thanks to all the TO Councillors who supported this motion for decent work in child care. #WorthMore @shelleycarroll @BravoDavenport
TO Council unanimously passed a motion calling on Ontario to "increase wages & benefits, comparable to positions in the public sector...for all staff in the early years & child care sector". Thank you @shelleycarroll and Councillors!
Hope you are listening @sflecce! #WorthMore

The devastation to our toh (water) and yintah (land) is immeasurable. This is toh we drink. This is where the salmon start their lives. This is our sacred headwaters that feed EVERYONE downstream all the way to the west coast.

It’s National Day of Action on Child Care! In BC we celebrate the progress/investments to date AND ask the Prov. Gov. to create/implement a Provincial ECE Wage Grid NOW! Support this campaign and send a letter of ask. Click the link and add your voice.

Alright friends, gentle reminder to be mindful with language. I’m seeing a lot of “our Indigenous” and “the Indigenous” and no word following it when referencing Indigenous folx as of late.
If you are not Indigenous yourself refrain from using “our”. It’s a possessive. /1 – at London, Ontario

Be good to younger people in movements and remember you were also once young! I remember folks who were snobby and condescending to me AND I remember folks who patiently schooled me and cared for me and taught me practical skills! The second was much more helpful. Choose #2!

The alive, moving, running waters of the Nechako river made me think about curriculum. The word curriculum comes from the Latin currure “to run.” How are we keeping curriculum alive/running/moving? What is a running/moving/alive curriculum?

So much good work this year - reaching 1,456 #ECEs in 427 programs - at risk of being undone due to BC gov’t dragging heels on disclosing funding renewal (or not) for @EcpnBc @FirstNationsPN @BCACCS @MetisNationBC @ECEBC1 #bced #ECE
How is this promoting 'quality' child care?

As of today...
62 @EcpnBc pedagogists+ have NO IDEA if they'll have employment in 5 weeks, as contracts come to an end. How does BC gov't expect people to live, plan, support families under these conditions? @KatrinaCBurnaby @JM_Whiteside #bced #ECE

i must've missed the part of the press conference where
@TorontoPolice committed to forfeit the $1.1 billion funding they receive that could've been used for housing, food, transportation, libraries etc. instead of brutalizing Black & Indigenous peoples 🙄

BREAKING: Toronto Police have released data showing Black people were 230% more likely to have a police officer point a firearm at them when they appeared to be unarmed than white people.
I don't want to hear anyone say that systemic racism doesn't exist in policing EVER AGAIN.
Friday Bailey retweeted
Indigenous people & people of colour should not be the only ones speaking of racism. White people need to be speaking about White privilege and White supremacy (I learned this last part from Dr @SheelahMcLean, a Scottish Canadian ally academic). That is allyship, together.

Police have been cosplaying for years as the “thin line between safety and complete anarchy” when we have countless studies that show the safest communities are the ones with the most resources and not police.

Morna Ballantyne at @Child_Care_Now reminds us of the victory for child care with $30 BILLION budgeted federally for Canada-wide $10aDay child care system development #cdnchildcare #10adaychildcare

Many of the women in federal prisons in B.C. are younger, come from poverty, and have a background of trauma and lower education.
Criminalizing such issues further contributes to inmate totals, say experts.

Two @rcmpgrcpolice intimidation visits in the books already this morning. 7 officers each time, driving two hours from Smithers for ten minutes of condescending & harassing people just practicing our culture on our land. #rcmpofftheyintah #IndigenousAwarenessWeek
