Local Ottawa CBC news coverage on yesterday’s community protest against the CANSEC conference where Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave speeches and endorsed this industry of mass death and violence.

Please mobilize, organize, and collective build the necessary political people powered pressure to force our states to fall into the right side of history.

The Global Sumud Flotilla fleet of vessels is currently off the coast of Greece in international waters. They have been approached by the Israeli military. This video has been shared by the Greenpeace vessel. The Israeli military maintains an UNLAWFUL blockade on Gaza.

From Barcelona amidst the launch of the flotilla, a call of solidarity with Palestinian hostages transcends borders and jails. Join the Red Ribbons Campaign and organise an action in your city on 16-18 April. Stand up for justice. Learn more here: redribbonscampaign.com

A historic day here in Barcelona. The largest maritime direct action is coming together to challenge Israel’s illegal siege and blockade on Gaza.

Massive gathering in Barcelona. The people stand for humanity and love. The people stand with Palestine. ❤️‍🔥✊

This is testimony from someone who is my age in Gaza. A 31-year-old male, arrested at Netzarim Checkpoint, held for a total of 53 days, initially at the checkpoint before being transferred to an unknown military camp and the Negev prison. He was interviewed 151 days after his release.

A large Palestinian flag is being waved on stage during @avilewis.ca first speech as federal NDP leader. Solidarity forever. ❤️‍🔥🇵🇸

Let us make the NDP the movement party. Thank you, @avilewis.ca and team.

I met George when I visited the West Bank in occupied Palestine. He runs an organization called The Palestinian Heritage Trail, a not-for-profit community-based tourism organization that creates hiking trails in, and around, different Palestinian communities.

When I visited northern Syria, I learned of the vital healthcare services like dialysis care for people with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. This is lifesaving care for people, made possible because of helpers like SEMA. Help & support: www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

I keep thinking about this. “By standing in solidarity with Palestine, we are learning how to fight for life on earth” - Sally Rooney

We are fuelled by love. For a different world that we will organize and fight for. This work is lifelong. This work is intergenerational. Thank you all for being a part of it, and thank you Team Avi for showing us what is possible when we build together towards human rights for all. ❤️

This movement that Team Avi has been building for many months is part of a broader social political movement, that is ultimately fighting back against fascism, and defending and fighting for human rights for all.

Another world is truly possible. Stop funding wars and genocide. Fund healthcare, education, housing and so much more that actually helps people not just survive, but thrive.

This Ramadan, please consider supporting the work that SEMA does in providing healthcare in Syria. I had the privilege of seeing firsthand how the care that patients receive is a lifeline for a community that has been through so many challenges. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Today is Human Rights Day. What are you doing to help tear down walls, and build a longer table for all peoples, towards collective liberation for all from the structural oppression of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism.

The Conscience boat sailed yesterday on Truth and Reconciliation Day. Mskwaasin Agnew, a harm reduction health worker from Turtle Island, shared how there are healthcare workers onboard intending on staying in Gaza not if, but when they make it to Gaza. Beautiful souls onboard.

The Conscience boat is sailing to Gaza. In solidarity with Palestinian journalists and medics. Listen to Mskwaasin Agnew’s words about this boat, who is a healthcare worker from Turtle Island. @canadaboatgaza.bsky.social @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

On this Truth and Reconciliation Day, I spoke with my dear friend Mskwaasin Agnew, outreach worker and harm reduction practitioner (Cree/Dene, Salt River First Nation), whose grandfather is a residential school survivor, and is on the way to Gaza onboard the Conscience boat…

Please do more. Please do everything you can to help bring the genocide in Gaza to an end. It is our collective responsibility to help end this. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸 @oxfamcanada.bsky.social press conference today on parliament hill in Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦

To honour Refaat al-Areer’s memory on his birthday today (September 23), I recorded myself reading his poem “If I Must Die”. Thank you for the suggestion, @mosababutoha.bsky.social.

This is what keeps me up at night. How do you sleep at night @mark-carney.bsky.social knowing your government is still sending weapons to Israel to commit genocide in Gaza?

A journalist asked what keeps me up at night. Here was my answer, at a press conference yesterday on parliament hill with a Canadian Medical Coalition Against Genocide demanding that Canada end its complicity and active involvement in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
