Social Media Shares: Social Justice, Alternative News

This is a place to share social media items that you have found.

 

Some of them may spawn threads to discuss them;however, it would be awesome if this thread was really focussed on the information that you feel is worth passing on to others.

 

Suggestion:  Pull the links, and put a short description of why you think it is awesome.

Consider it a library.,

 

 

Why? 

There are times when things drop out of the media or may have a limited range of visibility, and so by sharing our information here, we can then share them out through our other methods, such as facebook & twitter.

One of the first that I would like to share is regarding Parents with children with complex medical requirements

 

Our good friend, RevMatt helps us understand the significant gaps in service provided, and disconnects between service providers, and the resultant impact to parents.  DaisyJane also has posted in this group affirming RevMatt.  

 

The group:  "Support Daria (Dasha)" is

Use this thread to both learn personally but also to hold governments accountable for service.

A second one that I recently came upon is "Walking with Our Sisters" https://www.facebook.com/groups/331569696926132/

 

There is wonderful artwork and craft which combine with stories to help give those reminders of the women murdered and disappeared who are First Nations Women.

 

 

 

The word moccasin, which has language origins with Eastern North American tribes, traditionally referred to a shoe with a puckered u-shaped 'vamp' over the instep

 

People are sending in vamps which will be turned into an exhibition which you can walk.

 

It will be in ParrySound In january.  

There are other links being shared as well which you can use to remind people of the tragedy of the missing and thereby introduce conversations.
