THREAD: It is #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay; an opportunity to recognize and celebrate First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. And a day to take immediate actions to dismantle colonialism, and systemic anti-Indigenous racism here in Ontario. ontariondp.ca/commit-to-true…

Let’s confront the shameful ways systemic bias robs Indigenous people of opportunity, safety, and even their lives. We’re calling on Ontario to:

1) Ensure Sol Mamakwa’s UNDRIP bill becomes law in Ontario: ontariondp.ca/undrip

2) Support Grassy Narrows and ensure they get the community-led mercury treatment centre they deserve

3) Fix the deplorable state of housing in Indigenous communities across this province

4) Ensure access to clean, safe, drinking water in every community and every home

5) Approve a new site for the Kashechewan community

6) Spend less on armed emergency response, and more on programs and services that support and empower Indigenous communities

7) Restore the cultural language education curriculum Ford cut

8) Address The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls inquiry’s calls to action

Let’s take immediate actions to dismantle colonialism, and systemic anti-Indigenous racism here in Ontario. Add your name to commit to true reconciliation in Ontario now: ontariondp.ca/commit-to-true…
