In her @TheSpec op-ed, RNAO CEO @DorisGrinspun says nurses across Canada mourn the death of #RN #AlexPretti — and confront the forces that killed him. "His death is a profound loss to all who knew him and to the nursing community across borders...We cannot look at Pretti’s death as a single tragedy, but as one element of a broader authoritarian shift in which excessive force and unchecked power have almost become normalized under the guise of public safety." "We stand in solidarity with all health-care workers and the public in Minneapolis and across the United States who are confronting this violence." "We honour Pretti, Renée Good and the others victimized in Minneapolis by speaking clearly, standing in solidarity and continuing to advocate for a society rooted in care, dignity and respect for human life."

Canada’s residential school records are at risk. Urge the House of Commons to protect, preserve, and return stewardship to Indigenous peoples. Sign: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P… #ProtectTheRecords #TruthAndReconciliation
