❛❛ #NewMoons are the time for manifestation, usually at the beginning of the month, a time to set intentions … #FullMoon rituals are the ideal time to let go with rituals that release old habits and limited thought patterns. ❜❜

There's many of us marginalized women, who are actively doing a lot of the community work that our governments had repeatedly promised & have failed to deliver. We can't keep waiting for our governments to do the right thing. We can't stay idle when so many of our community members/fellow citizens needs are not being met. Several of us started networking & linking our networks to build up some community assistance teams to deliver a variety of essential community services to the peoples.

Together, we are stronger & can help more folks.

Our local #grassroots, all women run, #BIPOC led, #sisterhood #nonprofit, #SNIWWOC - also offers a free #DentalHealth / #DentalHygiene program.

The service is provided through a partnership with Pacifica Dental. Your appointment will take place between Monday and Friday from 8 am to 4 pm and for low-income racialized women.

This free dental hygiene program provides dental hygiene check-ups and cleaning only. #PacificaDental clinic can recommend further treatment if necessary. You will need to visit the clinic location.

From our #BIPOC #sisterhood #nonprofit org, #SNIWWOC in #VictoriaBC - Please boost.

Our newest program is here to give BIPOC #menstruators the freedom to be a part of essential activities and not be excluded due to a lack of #MenstrualProducts.

Did you know that up to 70% of menstruators have missed school or work because of their period?

Or that nearly a quarter of Canadian menstruators and a third of menstruators under 25, have reportedly struggled to afford menstrual products for themselves or their dependents?

As an all-women, BIPOC-led and BIPOC-comprised organization, SNIWWOC understands the needs of our community and we are focused on improving their health from a holistic and integrated service model.

With efforts to be #EcoConscious, this program will provide applicants with one #reusable #MenstrualCup to support their period needs.

The #MenstrualFreedom program is funded by The Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, we thank you for your donation!

Eligibility:

Black Women, Indigenous Women, and Women of Colour, Transgender, Non-binary, and Two-Spirit community menstruators.

Must make less than the low-income cut-off line, see the table(on website).

Took my Mohawk sister-friend, Ojistoh, out for her first sail. Gorgeous weather today & we had some nice breezes on the ocean ️

The #election of the #EuropeanParliament is - after the elections in India - the biggest on earth. #Europe stands for #freedom, for #justice and #sisterhood of men. This election may be one of the most important ones of our life (so far). So please: VOTE!

Vote for democratic partys.
Vote for a party that enables and supports all creatures, ladies and lads alike.
Vote for a party that does not gamble with our health and ecosystems while maintaining "business as usual" in a world of ... 1/2
