Who else attended today's @OECD Development Co-operation Report 2021 launch event on shaping a just #DigitalTransformation?✋

Panelists expanded upon some of the report's key themes, including:

📅 Acting now!
⬆️ More #coordination
🖼️ Strong #frameworks
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 #InclusiveDevelopment
But we also heard a lot about #DigitalPublicGoods (#DPGs). Like... A LOT a lot.

So, what's the connection between #DPGs and a just, #inclusive #DigitalTransformation? Why have so many #donors, national #governments, and #tech experts alike expressed interest in #DPG solutions?
Well, they all agree that #DigitalTransformation is at a tipping point globally, with the divisions between wealthy and developing nations especially stark: 96% of the world's unconnected people live in developing countries.

#MMTweet Weekly Review!
Political will is King, so how do we wrestle back the reigns in this country? Start with blasting neoliberal lies about the economy via #MMTruth, water the grassroots we need to win, by nurturing and growing, to keep the pressure where it belongs! The 1%!

I have worked & advocated against extra-judicial killings #EJKs by @policeNG for over 3 decades. In 2012, when I put out figures on #EJKs by @policeNG, the reaction of @NigeriaGov was to order my arrest. Today, we remain on #EndSARS.

10 yrs ago, @OSFJustice released a rpt on @policeNG under the title #CriminalForce. I worked on that. It detailed a culture of wasting human life under a chapter titled "A Human Abbatoir". Despite our best efforts with @policereformNG, few ppl took notice. We're still in #EndSARS
In its 2008 rpt, the MD Yusuf Presidential Commission on Police Reform wrote that @PoliceNG was byword for “unlawful arrest & detention, extortion, torture, rape, #EJKs & other forms of brutality."

That report is still on the shelves of the SGF. We are still stuck on #EndSARS

Action alert!📢Remember the Leslieville crash where a driver struck a young woman in the #Dundas bike lane, critically injuring her with horrific head injuries? Her name is Julia and SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW. Please go to: gofundme.com/f/julia-rehabi…
#BikeTO #TOpoli #TODeadlyStreets
Here's the story if you don't remember: toronto.ctvnews.ca/cyclist-suffer… Julia was riding in the bike lane, doing nothing wrong, when a speeding driver struck her, nearly killing her. Maddeningly, no followup re driver's name or whether charges laid. #BikeTO #TODeadlyStreets #RoadViolence
Enabled by #TODeadlyStreets and lack of any physical protection, this driver inflicted: "two skull fractures, brain hemorrhaging, two arterial dissections resulting in multiple strokes, broken ribs, a broken collar bone, fractured bone fragments in her cheeks, a punctured lung...

Hey @NACTO #NACTO19. Before you fawn over Toronto's leadership, we have seen MANY pedestrians preventably killed in recent weeks. This woman, killed yesterday, might have been someone's mom. cp24.com/news/woman-str…
This one, Friday, someone's grandpa? toronto.citynews.ca/video/2019/09/…
Imagine sitting for days by the side of a dangerous arterial, holding a sign hoping for the hit-and-run driver who killed your vibrant, beloved daughter to come forward? Knowing there is still no crosswalk planned to address the TTC desire line? #NACTO19 thestar.com/news/gta/2019/…
#RoadViolence is so rampant and destructive that many have called for a state of emergency. thestar.com/news/gta/2018/…
#RoadViolence is unquestionably a clear, urgent #PublicHealthCrisis in this city. #NACTO19 cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Ok, @Penalosa_G presentation is amazing and it’s just getting started....
Underground path in toronto sucks the life out of the city; segregation not integration
Bad weather? Need better #infrastructure ; focus on the better 200 days, not the 20 bad ones; separated bike lanes! Safe, bike in winter, keeps people safe;

Within 24hrs We Got @NGRSenate & the entire arm of Govt to respond swiftly to a malaise we the citizens have resolved to expunge from our society. So it is no longer theory. It’s not the Police that stops crime but ordinary people in the Society. #PoliticalWill #Justice4Angela
Note also that no Protest was organized neither was there a need to burn Tyres. When the citizenry speak in unity there is no limit to the possibilities. Let each one reach the other & enlighten one another. A NewNigeria is possible. U just need to know what is worth fighting for
People don’t do what you expect but that which you inspect. A copy of the petition will be shared here as soon as it is received and stamped for all your information. We are tracking it all as well as other cases. #Justice4Angela @citizen_gavel @AbdulMahmud01 @DrJoeAbah
