Dear #MedTwitter
We are losing strong Indigenous leadership in spaces that COULD have guided the future of #meded & #healthequity
Within a span of 6 weeks, @CFMSFEMC has lost two leaders due to anti-Indigenous racism. If this isn’t telling of its culture, I don’t know what is. https://twitter.com/SMHernande/status/1348352121586941953

After continuous consultation with both @yotakahron and @SMHernande a series of recommendations and immediate calls to action were developed, including the resignation of the @CFMSFEMC Board. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11bTOi5TSd8jU5xepmREJugO3z7548yPliwIhRMRUA3A/edit?ts=5fd6b46e
Canadian medical students, if you value equity, inclusion and diversity (looking at those of you with #EDI #ally #equity on your twitter profiles), sign the petition below. We cannot continue to stand in silence and "act" like allies. Solidarity = action https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScedyKK4Gi-iKeKvisIlY1j1uYfJl59P_Omj6QQpSJ78gVdJw/viewform
Every med student and alumni, take note of which medical student societies have supported and signed on. If you do not see the names of your student leaders, look to your schools and ask them why! In times like this, silence is extremely deafening. Act now!
