A feminist 🧵on the Humanitarian Response in #Venezuela Before the earthquakes, 🇻🇪 already had the 2nd highest #MaternalMortality rate in the Americas and the Caribbean. Adding a double #earthquake with over 16,000 injured & thousands displaced necessarily increases the risk of maternal mortality.

That fact alone should place sexual and reproductive health and rights needs at the forefront.” – masayalb.bsky.social (Huron University College). Find out more in our article: buff.ly/XvWHSou 🔗

ICE has detained this high schooler for 10 months. Here’s what he and his classmates want you to know

Dylan Lopez Contreras, a student at Ellis Prep academy, was taken by ICE in May. The Guardian invited him and five of his classmates to share their lives and dreams

“Nothing can undo the injustice of denying Dylan even a modicum of due process, stealing his liberty and personal autonomy, and snatching away the precious time, education and experiences he’s been forced to miss for nearly a year of his young life,” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Stop the Gigification of Teaching! Canadian universities depend in contract faculty with precarious and poorly paid conditions. This hurts students and limits the contribution academia makes to society. #Fairness4CF

It is heartening to see high-school students showing up in the rain to protest the OSAP cuts. Stop the privatization and financialization of education. Young people shouldn’t have to get in debt to access an education!
