Today is #MigrantsDay.

Many migrants often lack access to health services and financial protection for health.

The right to health applies to everyone - irrespective of nationality, race, colour, sex or other status.

71 years ago today, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was born. Drafted by people from different legal, religious & cultural backgrounds from all over the world, it is a guiding light of the #humanrights movement.

On #HumanRightsDay, let's recall what it says… (thread)
Preamble:

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind,

Going through notes to tweet re case 1: JY vs BH. Case is JY vs Sikh woman who declined to provide genital waving services to JY. Of note, defendant works out of her own home in which there are small children present.
Want to provide some background 1st.
This is first of three cases where defendants are represented by the @JCCFCanada JY has filed other cases (total number may be 16) and it appears some have already been settled via mediation with others to still be heard.
The BC Human Rights code prohibits discrimination in certain areas of daily life - there are five main areas such as employment, housing, provision of services...etc In these cases, the area implicated is the provision of services.

The U.S. Senate passed a major defense, labor, #health & education funding bill today on a bipartisan 85-7 vote. Pluses in health #research, health #workforce, other initiatives now to reconcile w/House which hasn't moved its bill yet.. /1 @CardinalWaypt senate.gov/legislative/LI…
Can Congress get #health funding done before the new FY19 begins Oct. 1? Maybe. Holdover temporary funding then finish the work in a post-election lame duck session? Depends. /2 @CardinalWaypt
This is more certain: 2019 work for 2020 #health spending will be much more difficult. The new Congress elected this November will get this ticket after the 2yr Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 $$$ expires,, w/big deficits in view. /3 @CardinalWaypt cbo.gov/publication/53…

Prediction: a huge class action lawsuit by influencers banned or demonetized by social networks will lead to recognizing & protecting:
- accounts as personal property
- posts as free speech

The more livelihoods depend on social influence, the likelier this becomes.
To be featured in this class action lawsuit:

Shadow banning

There are several legal precedents for this:
1) malls are regulated as public spaces and must protect speech and assembly rights even though they're private minnpost.com/cityscape/2015…
2) utilities (gas, water, electric) aren't allowed to cut people off even if they miss bills.
