We can’t talk about “destigmatizing mental illness” while also sending the police to mental health crises. Is mental illness a crime?

For the lives of Black and Indigenous women and girls and Two Spirit, trans, and non-binary people to be upheld in Canada, police maltreatment and brutality and systemic racism must come to an end. #AntiBlackRacism #RacismInCanada canadianwomen.org/blog/action-st…

Systemic racism, discrimination, and misogyny put Black women at increased risk during the pandemic. We worked with @UofTMDprogram's @BMSAUofT and Out in Medicine to create this graphic on the intersection of gender and anti-Black racism during #COVID19 @bmsacanada @mirandadmcd

While these statements are a good start, a platform reaching 77k people can be used more optimally at a time like this by @UofT. What anti-black racism resources can you promote? What is productive allyship? How can the public demand justice and donate? And so much more.

To be clear: if you choke someone and they die of a heart attack, or brain damage, or aspiration into the lungs, or a spinal cord injury, it's from the choking. There's lots of potential specific causes of death, but the common origin was the choking. 'kay?

How would you have us protest? You ridicule us when we kneel. You beat us when we try to speak. You assault us and use tear gas when we are peaceful. So I ask you again - how would you have us protest?

Whether you're in America or here at home in Canada I need you to hear this: Black lives matter. Indigenous lives matter. Justice matters. And we must demand it. George Floyd 💔 Regis Korchinski-Paquet 💔 Stewart Kevin Andrews 💔 And in memory of too many others.

This is the type of Rhetoric that leads to fear and over policing of our Black Communities. @fordnation be better.

Did you know that 1 in 8 Canadian households experience food insecurity? Women are disproportionately affected, and these effects are exacerbated by #COVID19. Please help us alleviate food insecurity at @YWCAToronto & @SisteringTO by donating: gf.me/u/xxf9c3 @uoftobgyn

Over the past weeks, a huge arsenal of medical students from @uoftmedicine @MacDeptMed have been working tirelessly to produce 3D-printed #PPE for healthcare workers. 1000s of face shields every week! Support us at 3dppegtha.ca #3DPPEGTHA #ConquerCOVID19 #PPEShortage

Not sure we've communicated well enough that social distancing interventions will pay dividends in 1-3 weeks. Anything that happens in the next 10 days was already baked in prior to that. A surge in cases now would NOT mean that social distancing isn't working.

Today marks day 10 of UofT med students being off from school - and yet still no leads on how we can help accelerate COVID testing, telephone assessment etc. Let us help. Mobilize these willing and capable students @PublicHealthON @TOPublicHealth.

We have @uoftmedicine students with 3+ yrs lab experience ready to mobilize NOW. Please reach out to Mia or I if your lab is restricted in its capacity of COVID-19 testing because of manpower!
