And @NovaScotiaESM has risen to discuss the issue of sexual harassment and specialized violence.

She is discussing banning the NDAs by political parties in cases of sexual harassment, assault, or other forms of abuse. #nspoli
It’s question period. Prepare for it to get SPICY.
And now @ChenderClaudia is standing to speak.

She asks the premier why the government went from having a ban of NDAs went from a priority from the premiers office.

The premier claims that it is a priority.

I am at the supply committee meeting for the department of Justice at One Government Place.

Enjoy my live tweets related to all of the departments “priorities”. 1/
The department is committed to keeping people of Nova Scotia safe!

Good to know.
The highest priority is the #MCC Commission Report according to Minister Johns.

You’ll note that the report focused on how cover up and bias around gender based violence needs to be addressed.

Let’s hear how they plan to do that 3/

TW: sexual assault and PTSD

For those of you following the work we have been doing with @ChenderClaudia and the @NSNDP on Bill 144, thank you.

I want to try and explain to you all what the last two days have been like for me - a victim of sexual assault and harassment. 🧵1/
My hands are shaking as I write this.

The last two days have been a traumatic experience. I had no concept of the hurt I have been holding inside my body over the last five years.

I came out with my story in early 2019 after the #metoo movement: cbc.ca/amp/1.4945951 2/
I thought sharing what happened to me would make a difference for the young women in my sector.

It’s been a catalyst for change, but not in my own back yard.

The donor I talked about was a donor at the last three orgs I worked for.

Check my LinkedIn if you’re curious 3/

Had the privilege of reading #WeCanDoBetter by Dr. David Goldbloom (son of Dr. Richard Goldbloom). The last chapter on #mentahealth and #homelessness should be mandatory reading @MikeSavageHFX and @nspc @TimHoustonNS. Here’s the synopsis is (thread):
200,000 people in Canada are estimated to be homeless. More than the entire population of St. John’s NFLD.

Cost per person living with mental illness (excluding medications) who are homeless: $56,000.

Homelessness is an expensive issue.
Shelters and food banks, while important, do not deal with the upstream and downstream causes of homelessness. For a country that prides itself on social welfare and universal health, we are doing in inadequate job of taking care of our most vulnerable people.

Hi #fundraisingtwitter. Some people seem confused as to why I, and may others, consider Mr. Ahern's comments and sessions offensive. I've had some genuine questions, so let me do my best to explain here.
Last month a conference called "Inspire Webinar Series" came out featuring a series of fundraising "legends". @_David_Lacey rightfully pointed out that 19 of the 22 panelists were white men. It was called out on Twitter and LinkedIn for being insulting.
Some speakers like @ToastFundraiser upon learning this stepped down. Instead of following suit, Tom Ahern wrote this post that included the words "In half a decade or less, the same worth of "listening-to" speakers won't be male or white." He also told everyone "F U" at the end

Okay #fundraisingtwitter, now is the time to step up. Do you care about the principles of #IDEA? Please reach out to the AFP South Sound chapter and let them know it is NOT acceptable to host this event. community.afpnet.org/afpwasouthsoun…
@thattomahern is spending time diminishing the voices, qualifications, and validity of BIPOC fundraisers and this is unacceptable. I would implore you to reach out.
And @AFPIHQ @AFPMikeGeiger and other sector leaders should be calling this out. This is an active attack on fundraisers of colour. This is part of the systemic racism that festers in our industry. We MUST call it when we see it.
