We will be joining others across Canada in demanding a moratorium on all new and in-progress fossil fuel related projects\, as well as Just Transition legislation that will transform the Canadian economy to address systemic inequities while creating the infrastructure needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This is also called a Green New Deal\, which is being pushed for around the world! We can’t wait. Please bring a mask for covid-safety and be ready to social distance. Please also bring props to help make our message clear such as fire extinguishers\, N-95 masks\, posters\, songs and any other on-message creative contributions. This is a large climate-caring community and the only action in Nova Scotia so far\, so let’s aim for big numbers. Can we fill the whole back parking lot? Please share online and in person widely!

SUMMARY:Rally calls for reparations and compensation for slavery
DESCRIPTION:KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – The subject of reparations for the enslavement of the African is a topic most governments the world over\, and including Canada\, do not want to touch. Even those said to be open minded and concerned with the well being of mankind seem to run from the subject of reparations and compensation for the descendants of African people forced into slavery.  \n\n\n\nWhereas all North American governments and others profited of the enslavement of the African\, reparations to the descendants of those forced into slavery should be a no brainer.  \n\n\n\nThe rape of Africa\, the theft and enslavement of the African\, the worst crime against humanity\, has never been given due process under international law because of racism in law and within governments and their lack of respect and what they seem to truly believe about race and equality and the value of human suffering.  \n\n\n\nGovernments and major companies in Canada made an estimated 50 trillion dollars from slavery in Canada\, and with the so called end of slavery reparations were paid to slave owners\, but not to those forced into slavery nor their descendants. \n\n\n\nBlack Lives Matter\, and based on the above a rally will be held on July 17\, 2021\, at 1PM at the Peace and Friendship Park\, across from the Westin Hotel in downtown Halifax. \n\n\n\nYour attendance is crucial and respectfully encouraged!

SUMMARY:Emergency rally for Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Today\, Saturday\, June 26 at 5pm\, an Emergency Rally for Palestine is being held. At Halifax’s Grand Parade Square\, Free Palestine Halifax and activists will be calling on the media in Halifax to commit to fair coverage of Palestine and the federal government of Canada to stop selling weapons that are being used to harm and kill Palestinian civilians. We call for the right to self determination\, and the right to sovereign rights in a supposed democratic state. \n\n\n\nThe discussion will feature speakers from the Indigenous\, Atlantic Palestinian\, and Black communities; discussing the connections and intersections of the fight for human rights.  \n\n\n\n Elder Billy and Joan Smith will be leading the welcoming ceremony. Their generous support for Palestine reinforces the need for respect and acknowledgement that this rally takes place on the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Mi’kmaq peoples. \n\n\n\nAyman Awad\, an outspoken advocate for queer Arab rights\, will represent Free Palestine Halifax. \n\n\n\nDana Elborno\, a young Palestinian activist\, will be representing Atlantic Canada’s Palestinian Society. \n\n\n\nLarry Haiven\, an academic and Palestinian rights activist\, will be representing Independent Jewish Voices. \n\n\n\nEl Jones\, poet laureate and community activist\, will be representing herself. \n\n\n\nCOVID-19 restrictions are limiting the initial rally to 75 people\, and Free Palestine Halifax will be collecting the names of the first 75 attendees.

SUMMARY:Speak Truth to Power Forum: They found us and we are coming home – The truth about residential schools
DESCRIPTION:Virtual forum\, the 8th episode in our Speak Truth to Power Series: They found us & we are coming home – The truth about residential schools \n\n\n\nThe announcement last month that the remains of 215 Indigenous children had been found on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School and now with the more recent finding of 104 potential graves at the Brandon Residential School\, has left the Indigenous community\, the nation\, and the world in grief but also with a renewed sense of urgency. Nova Scotia’s Sipekne’katik First Nation says it will immediately begin an investigation of the former Shubenacadie Indian Residential school site grounds. Hundreds of young children were taken from their families and communities and forced to attend Canada’s notorious residential schools like Kamloops and assimilate into Western culture. For years\, many survivors\, and relatives of survivors have been talking about the horrible and dehumanizing experiences\, including medical experimentations\, malnourishment\, harsh punishment\, and brutality including deaths and unmarked graves of children who were just trying to be themselves…some ask if this is genocide? This forum allows us to listen to the voices of the Indigenous community\, to understand\, show compassion\, and mobilize to act. Humanity should not be associated with one culture or identity. \n\n\n\nGuest Panelists include: \n\n\n\nPatti Doyle-Bedwell\, Associate Professor\, Dalhousie UniversityNatalie Gloade\, Indigenous ActivistThe Honourable Graydon Nicholas\, Former Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick and Chancellor of St. Thomas Universityadditional speakers to be confirmed\n\n\n\nJoin via Teams Live

SUMMARY:The Caring Economy
DESCRIPTION:We hope you can join the discussion: How can we ensure that everyone gets the care they need\, and make sure we are also caring for the people who provide it? We are building a coalition to advocate for a universal\, comprehensive\, publicly funded\, high quality\, affordable\, accessible\, accountable\, and non-profit childcare system in Nova Scotia. Are you a parent? A grandparent? Are you a child care provider? An early childhood educator? A concerned community member? We want to hear from you at this event. \n\n\n\nHear from panelists about why you should care about the care economy\, which is about people who need care and those who provide care\, paid and unpaid. Much of this care work is undervalued\, most of it done by women\, and disproportionately immigrants\, migrant workers\, and racialized people. Care is also critical social infrastructure. Hear how child care itself is an economic driver and why it is critical to create a healthy society\, ensuring everyone reaches their potential. \n\n\n\nOur speakers: \n\n\n\nAngella MacEwen is a Senior Economist at CUPE National\, and a policy fellow with the Broadbent Institute. Her primary focus is understanding the impacts of Canadian social and economic policy on workers. Angella writes a quarterly publication\, Economy at Work\, which aims to communicate current economic issues to a broad audience. She holds a MA in Economics from Dalhousie University. \n\n\n\nEl Jones is a two-time National Spoken Word Champion and the former Poet Laureate of Halifax. She is dedicated to using poetry in prison outreach and youth engagement\, and volunteers twice a week at Centreline Studio on the corner of Uniacke and Gottingen. Her poems deal with the social-political issues that surround race and gender. For the past year\, Jones has been running the Saturday Morning edition of the Halifax Examiner\, bringing her razor-sharp analysis to bear on Nova Scotian politics. Her book of spoken word poetry\, Live from the Afrikan Resistance! was published by Fernwood in 2014. \n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqdemrpjkqEtwLZ2Fk1trloG25a5OPGWnM \n\n\n\nStay up to date with Child Care Now NS\, follow us on social media!  \n\n\n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/322642669420137 \n\n\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/childcarenowns \n\n\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ChildCareNowNS

SUMMARY:RALLY Against the Housing Crisis!
DESCRIPTION:Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/614614466597683/ \n\n\n\nThe housing crisis is spiralling out of control. We’re seeing an exponential increase in people forced onto the street. Meanwhile\, average residents of HRM who remain housed find their rent soaring to unsustainable levels. This cannot continue. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, politicians refuse to help in a meaningful way. Not only do some politicians pass the buck on positive action\, they also use their power to attack the band-aid solutions to the crisis that groups like Halifax Mutual Aid (HMA) offer. \n\n\n\nHRM has been maneuvering to destroy volunteer-built crisis shelters\, which continue to be a lifeline for people experiencing houselessness. As HMA’s waitlist for shelters grows (along with people forced onto the street)\, HRM attacks the homeless instead of the housing crisis. \n\n\n\nWe ask you to lend your voice to the chorus of caring and concerned residents of HRM to tell the city government this: \n\n\n\n“Stay out of the way if you can’t lend a hand.” \n\n\n\nPlease join us Sunday June 20th\, 2pm at the Old Central Library in Downtown Halifax.

The systemic mistreatment of 2SLGBTQ+ people within the healthcare system carries over into pregnancy and birthing spaces\, which can create experiences of alienation and trauma for queer birthing people and their families.  \n\n\n\nThis project\, along with the work of Wellness Within’s Queer Doula Training Program\, aims to centre queer birth safety by contributing to queer birth education and increasing the number of queer-identified doulas in Nova Scotia. \n\n\n\nHosted by Wellness Within and NSPIRG \n\n\n\nWho: Toolkit Content Coordinators Nicole Marcoux and Jordan Roberts\, Queer Doula Coordinator Clark MacIntosh \n\n\n\nModerated by: Caitlin Hartlen\, Fierté Canada Pride’s Director at Large \n\n\n\nWhat: A moderated discussion about the creation of the Queer Doula Toolkit\, Wellness Within’s Doula Training Program\, and improving perinatal supports for queer families. \n\n\n\nWhen: June 17th\, 7:30pm ADT (5:30pm CT / 3:30pm PT) \n\n\n\nWhere: Zoom. Register by emailing womenswellnesswithinns@gmail.com with the subject line “Queer Doula Toolkit Launch” \n\n\n\nSince going live on June 3rd\, the Queer Doula Toolkit has been downloaded and shared across Canada\, the US and even the UK! While we are thrilled at the early feedback and support for this project\, the lack of queer-centred doula and healthcare education has become glaringly obvious. In sharing our process and collaboration methods\, we hope to inspire additional research and capacity for providing queer competent health care on a broader level.*Live ASL interpretation will be available*
