The City of Toronto says Black families are 3.5 times more likely to be food insecure compared to white families. City council recently approved a Black Food Sovereignty plan to develop, support and fund food security initiatives. @TalRicci has more. cbc.ca/1.6262644
It is because of leaders like Angela Robertson of @PQWCHC that disruptive change will happen to truly move those most vulnerable towards better health. Here's to making more #goodtrouble #advocacychampion
Angela Robertson, the director of @PQWCHC, has long been an #advocate – but the #pandemic has driven her advocacy to new levels.
Now is the time "to push for real, substantive, tangible change," she says. "I have been unrelenting in making good trouble.”
