About Donations:
We have included a donation option for this event as the organizers incur out-of-pocket expenses for the Zoom webinar account fee, honorariums to Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and gifts for the speakers. Please consider donating to help us cover these expenses. Any funds received above our costs will be donated to an organization benefiting Palestinian people (i.e. UNWRA). As of June 1, our costs currently outweigh our donations by several hundred dollars.
About the Organizers:
This event is organized by BC Nurses United for Social Justice. We are a grassroots, member-organized group of BCNU* members who believe health care workers should play a pivotal role in decolonization and the promotion of social justice from Canada to Palestine. We seek to educate and engage our colleagues to inspire self-reflection and action. Among us are Indigenous and settler nurses living and working on the unceded, occupied, and stolen lands across what is colonially known as British Columbia.
