As Ottawa recovers from Budget Day, some thoughts on #Budget2022. We’re delighted to see the promised changes to the Income Tax Act (in the spirit of Bill S-216). These sound technical and dry but these changes will help us work in more feminist ways. 1/7 x.com/ratnaomi/statu…

This matters. Renewal and recommitment of resources AND political support for feminist movements from 🇨🇦.

Yesterday African Women's Development Fund hosted an event at #WD2023 on funding feminist movements where they discussed care as a critical piece to funding and supporting feminist movements. “The work isn’t just about outside of the office - funders need to fund the wellbeing of staff of WROs.”

We are thrilled to share that philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $10M USD to the Equality Fund. It is a bold affirmation of our feminist values + vision and a vote of confidence in our model. Today we celebrate. Tomorrow we double down. buff.ly/3RwDJen
