Racism, intolerance & discrimination tear at the fabric of our societies, which is a tragedy for everyone.
But we can all take action by spreading compassion, tolerance & acceptance. More ideas on Friday's #FightRacism Day: un.org/en/fight-racism

February 20th is World Day of Social Justice and this year’s theme is Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future.
A sustainable future includes physically and mentally healthy people and topics that being discussed as part of this year’s theme include the economy of wellbeing and the need for universal social health protection.
CMHA’s vision for a Canada where everyone has access to the mental health care they need, when and where they need it, is what socially just health care looks like.
In honour of World #SocialJustice Day, consider making a donation to CMHA to help us make this vision a reality, because #MentalHealthMatters.
