Girl sneaks into her school to take the images of its empty classrooms. Taliban in Afghanistan have closed the schools for girls but their dreams of getting education is so alive.
📚✨ Empty classrooms, silent corridors, and fading dreams. Four years ago, these halls echoed with the laughter and learning of Afghan girls. Today, they stand in silence — a silence that speaks of lost opportunities and broken futures. Educating girls isn’t just about books

Great news, hopefully the process of getting into them will also become easier - and more accessible: well done Waterloo Region

This information is so critical for tenants - as the lack of it results in increased homelessness. A family we supported was evicted in a way that by the time they returned home from work, their keys were changed & they were left on the streets.
ICYMI: The cities of Kitchener+Waterloo are making bold moves to protect tenants, deter bad-faith landlords, and preserve affordable housing stock. Check out this chat with our Tenant Organizing Lead, Megan Walker, about the sustained organizing efforts behind these victories.
