Poor health & #homelessness are related. To address, we must focus on #housing , health system changes and #Medicaid reform.

Encampment clearings are ineffective and seriously harm people's health & wellbeing. Mike Mayer presents his research Health Affairs

We talked to #MassandCass encampment residents, who told us that tents felt safer (bc people were there to watch over them while they used) and more personalized/private than standard shelters, but that once swept away…

ICYMI: Still no action from Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa on the suspension of Dr. Yipeng Ge 葛义朋, a friend, and someone whose advocacy I have looked up to for a decade. Health workers have a right & duty to speak up for human rights. Support him here --

Meet Stuart Seldowitz, a former advisor to the White House who used to advise Obama on foreign policy.

He is a three-time winner of the State Department’s Superior Honour Award.

As long as I have known Yipeng Ge 葛义朋, he has been committed to equity, anti-racism and justice. He has been unjustly suspended from residency, without due process, for supporting Palestinian human rights. Please tell Ottawa University this is not OK. change.org/p/reinstate-dr…

All week long, #JewsForCeasefire have been taking action.

How's it going?

Well, we've never seen Fox News more confused...

But from coast to coast, day after day, Jews & allies around the country made sure the urgent need for a #CeasefireNOW was impossible to ignore. 🧵

BREAKING: #JewsForCeasefire in Boston are sitting-in on the BU Bridge, begging our politicians to demand a ceasefire NOW.

Every day of war means more death, more starvation, more children losing limbs, more babies becoming orphans

It is unbearable, our souls cry out against it.

Here's the richest man in the world, saying that Jews have been 'pushing hatred against whites.'

Musk is endorsing the 'great replacement' conspiracy theory that motivated the Tree of Life shooter, murdering 11 of our people.

This is fucking dangerous.

This is dangerous & reckless disinformation, Congressman.

We were peacefully linking arms, singing, and calling for a ceasefire.

As you can see with your own eyes in this video.

Then Capitol Police rushed in, threw us down the stairs, and pepper sprayed us.

Retract this now.

There is something uniquely painful about being Jewish and watching other Jewish people harass pro-Palestinian organizers and advocate against ceasefire.

It’s like a part of my identity being ripped out of my hands.

We urgently request that the Canadian Government do everything within its power to achieve an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza . Ending the indiscriminate violence is the only way to prevent more deaths and scale up desperately needed humanitarian assistance.

🚨 The red line has been crossed. Following a month of aerial bombardment of civilian and #medical infrastructure, a severe siege, and a ban on the entry of critical equipment for the continued operation of #hospitals – all hope seems lost.

Last night a soldier fired at the emergency unit of the hospital, hitting the wall in full view of our colleagues who were standing outside. Today, our team witnessed Israeli forces fire at the entrance of the hospital, with bullets hitting the wall directly above the door.
