As a sector, we must integrate decolonization & advancing truth & #reconciliation in our work & continue to hold it as a priority. Here are 5 ways for #nonprofits to take action: 
1. Learn more about residential schools & the devastating impact on communities & generations of Indigenous Peoples: (irsss.ca). You can also take a free @UAlberta course on Indigenous histories & contemporary issues: bit.ly/3fMity2
2. Read the Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action & commit to ways your organization will be accountable: bit.ly/TRC-CTAs.
3. Ensure the Calls to Action are implemented by advocating to the federal government. Currently only 8 out of 94 calls have been completed. Read analysis from @Yellowhead_ about the lack of action: yellowheadinstitute.org/trc/.
4. Advocate to the @ONgov & your MPP for the government to work with First Nations to survey sites for unmarked graves at Ontario’s former residential schools.
5. Advocate for more public and private funding of nonprofits to be directed to Indigenous-led organizations & to issues Indigenous Peoples have identified need to be funded.
We need to use our social, political & financial capital to #decolonize & advance truth and #reconciliation. Explore resources from the network, share your own resources, & read ONN’s commitment to truth and reconciliation: bit.ly/ONNCommitment
