Besides advocating for political representatives who pledge to work for #sustainability and #degrowth, can we band together in meaningful ways to fund alternatives to the conventional individual “defined contribution” / 401(k) pension plans?
- #Multigenerational #Cohousing, where dwellings/ lifestyles can be smaller / cheaper bc much (spare rooms, tool shops, vehicles, laundry facilities, gardens, care work etc) are shared?
- Cooperative allotments for fruit/veg production?
- What else?

#AntiBlack #racism & #discrimination are deeply embedded in our #Canadian institutions, policies, workplaces and society. The social & economic #consequences of this have been dire for #BlackPeople resulting in a #multigenerational #WageFap for members of #BlackCommunities in Canada. This is an #injustice that must be set right,” said Bea Bruske, President of the #CanadianLabourCongress .

The Blue Between Sky and Water by Susan Abulhawa.
If you are into #magicalrealism #strongfemalecharacters #PalestinianLivesMatter then this is a must read. It's a #historicalfiction telling a #multigenerational story from before the #nakba . Even if you're not familiar with the "politics" of it all, you'll find this a great read while also educating yourself about an ongoing #apartheid .
