Lost 500+ followers by posting a video supporting a transman. Happy #pride to me! Can I get some RT and new followers? I’m an ER doc and #LGBTQ advocate posting educational content and my thoughts about #advocacy work in the ED 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is the 7th anniversary of the Orlando shootings. The worry I felt for queer and trans folx then is nothing compared to the cold fear i have these days. An event that should have catalyzed a resurgence of queer emancipation movements only served to embolden a hateful right.

Excited to be en route to Barcelona for a Prison Transparency Project site visit and meetings with Catalan officials. Building momentum!

Got the band back together for our tour of Catalonia. Barcelona gave us a very warm welcome. ⁦Prison Transparency Project⁩ looking forward to meeting with our Spanish partners tomorrow and getting some good work done together.

A day of collaborative meetings with local partners, activists and researchers in Barcelona. Fascinating points of comparison as we learn how Spanish incarceration mirrors Canadian incarceration but not Argentina. Today we begin work on immigration detention ⁦Prison Transparency Project⁩

Amazing activists effecting grassroots oversight of prisons and immigration detention centres. Health neglect, violence, hiding dead bodies, poor or fake data. ⁦Prison Transparency Project⁩

We are privileged today to spend time with Inaki Rivera Beiras, founder of the Catalan Observatory on Human Rights and Prison who is teaching us about prison activism in Spain. So inspiring to hear stories of activists in solidarity with prisoners. Prison Transparency Project

Today we met with Inaki Rivera Beiras, an astonishing scholar and activist. His outspoken views on Catalan prisons made him a target of the Spanish State. He also founded the local, citizen driven prison observatory. ⁦Prison Transparency Project⁩ has a new and valued friend.

Today in Barcelona the ⁦Prison Transparency Project⁩ is having a fascinating meeting with prison officials in Catalonia, learning how they have take up and adapted Canada’s problematic rehabilitation scheme.

We had a very interesting visit to two halfway houses today. Fascinating work being done in the half way house for women and their children. Prison Transparency Project

This is why ⁦⁦Prison Transparency Project⁩ values and partners with investigative journalists. It’s not enough that we know these things happen. We want to world to know about the constant injustices of incarceration. cbc.ca/news/canada/ha…
