[BCFSN] COVID-19 - supporting each other

[Jodi Koberinski]

As a long lost family member lol I am grateful to be in this conversation
with you all, and echo Dawn and Abra's comments about the systemic shifts
underway and our need to be more organized than ever, operating from some
clear and self aware places.
I'm in Ontario at this time, however I'd like to maintain engagement in
this conversation as a resource person and an advocate for bold and radical
action.

with love and respect--

*I acknowledge that I am on the traditional territory of the Neutral
Confederacy, Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee. The University of Waterloo is
situated on the Haldimand Tract (1784), land promised to Six Nations
including six miles on each side of the Grand River, which is an occupied
territory. I have a responsibility to dismantle racism that I, as a
Canadian citizen, have perpetuated and benefited from. I continue to seek
understanding and to learn ways to engage decolonizing actions and
movements. I commit to learning about the 94 TRC commitments, UNDRIP, and
doing what I can to implement them.*
