Your Social Justice Collective reminds you that on 20 June, the world celebrates World Refugee Day – the international day to honour people who have been forced to flee. Together, we can champion their right to seek safety, build support for their economic and social inclusion, and advocate for solutions to their plight. And the 21 st is National Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Non-Indigenous people are invited to recognize, learn, and celebrate the importance of Indigenous customs and traditions on this day and throughout the year. Wear orange as a gesture of support! Learn something new about the local Mi’kmaq culture.

What is Debt Justice? Today, 40% of the world’s population live in countries that spend more on debt repayments than on health, education or tackling the climate crisis. This Jubilee Year offers us an opportunity to advocate for “debt forgiveness”. Pls see the explanation on the bulletin board and/or check out kairoscanada.org for more information.
