“I could no longer bring myself to give my labour to a workplace where people were targeted for speaking out against a genocide, including the bombing of hospitals and the murder and abduction of our Palestinian colleagues” Love you, Dr. Kavita Algu. ❤️
Congratulations on your 6 year mandate as the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng. I am so grateful to call you a dear friend.
I want to read you a poem. Think of Others by Mahmoud Darwish. Translated from Arabic by Sarah Ragoub.
⚠️ Don’t stop talking about Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ⚠️ Urgent new health warning issued: FREE DOCTOR ABU SAFIYA! #FreeAbuSafiya Sign the petition today calling for his immediate release: secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...
Be a doctor who is against genocide. Be a doctor who is for collective liberation. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸 Grateful for my fellow healthcare workers who organize for Palestine for gifting me this t-shirt. ❤️
A different world is possible where profits are not prioritized over the people, the planet, and all living beings on this shared planet we find ourselves on.
We are calling on all medical and healthcare workers to raise your voice. The 95 Palestinian medical and healthcare workers in Israeli jails must be released. We must pressure international and Israeli authorities to release them all! Join our campaign: www.drove.com/campaign/6a4...
A dear medical colleague and friend working in Gaza currently sent this photo to me. Canada is sending fortified biscuits into Gaza, but also still sending weapons to Israel to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Don’t be fooled by Canada’s “humanitarian alibi”.
Release Dr Hussam Abu Safiya! Contact your Member of Parliament, the Foreign Affairs Minister, and the Prime Minister to call for his immediate release: bit.ly/m/SaveDrHuss...
Release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Release them all!!! His words to his lawyer during a visit on July 2: “This is the last time you will see me… They brought me here to kill me. I do not see myself leaving here alive. This is the end.”
Pride is a protest. No pride in genocide. Free Palestine. We are all freer when Palestine is free. Solidarity forever with peoples and communities facing oppression anywhere and everywhere.
I have been reflecting on the opening of the exhibit, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present”, at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is hard to fully put into words my reflections, but I will try. My reflections: yipeng.ca/2026/06/28/t...
Honoured to be in Winnipeg for the opening of the “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present” exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
This morning, I attended a press briefing held by Ms. Rachel on the impact of the genocide and ethnic cleansing on Palestinian children, following the release of the new UN Commission of Inquiry report on Palestinian children,
I can’t believe it’s been three years since I graduated from my masters of public health degree, where I studied health inequities and colonialism as a structural determinant of health.
I have been spending the past few days learning about the question of Cyprus. Discussing negotiation, reconciliation, and peace building. There are many lessons from Cyprus, and much the world can offer to build sustainable and lasting peace through self-determination and true reconciliation.
I keep thinking about this picture of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from yesterday during a court hearing. He has remained in Israeli custody since this abduction from Gaza in December 2024.
No one is illegal on stolen land. There are no borders in healthcare. Healthcare should never depend on status. Human rights including the right to access healthcare ought to be a human right for all people on this land, without exception or preconditions.
Canadians kidnapped and subjected to torture on civilian flotillas to break the illegal siege of Gaza testify during a press conference on Parliament Hill and call on the Canadian government to sanction Israel
On behalf of Global Sumud Flotilla Canada, Canada Boat to Gaza, and 13 Canadians who participated on the two most recent Gaza-bound flotilla sailings in April and May 2026, and their families and loved ones,
CANSEC is a conference of buying and selling weapons and technologies that fuel an industry of war, terror, and genocide. It is the complete opposite of what healthcare workers stand for. It is the complete opposite of humanity, dignity, and life for all peoples and the planet.
The university of ottawa previously hired this person as a special advisor- someone who denies both the genocide of Indigenous Peoples and Palestinians. Sounds about right for @uottawa.ca.
It shouldn’t be that surprising but I’m still shocked at people in Canada denying the genocide against Indigenous Peoples. Some of these people also deny the Israeli genocide against Palestinians who are indigenous to Palestine. Supremacist ideologies are one and the same. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Canada is committing genocide against Indigenous Peoples, while it continues to send military goods to Israel to commit genocide against Palestinians. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/29/h...
Local Ottawa CBC news coverage on yesterday’s community protest against the CANSEC conference where Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave speeches and endorsed this industry of mass death and violence.
So grateful to have spent the day yesterday in Collingwood, to meet organizers, activists, and community members who have been so very steadfast in their solidarity work for Palestinian liberation. And confronting Canadian complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
A major win! The U.S. sanctions on Francesca Albanese have been suspended by a U.S. court. And in the judge’s words: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest". May the truth tellers prevail. May justice prevail. May Palestine be free and liberated.
Really grateful to have spent the day with Dr. Paul Parks, previous president of the Alberta Medical Association. We both gave keynote speeches at the Public Interest Alberta conference on “Common Purpose, Collective Action” here in Edmonton.
