That's a really good idea. I went to withdraw cash today and noticed the bank office is closed, which seems like an odd way to get at truth and reconciliation, by giving a day off to mostly settlers. -

https://fpcf.ca@beandreams and because I'm sure there are many who are thinking "I can't afford an unpaid day off, I already can't afford my basic needs": volunteering is also an option! It can be like you're getting paid to help a local Indigenous org, except instead of the org having to pay you, your employer does and the org gets free labor!

@raphaelmorgan @beandreams anyone else notice that whenever anyone suggests giving money to something, people get extremely defensive over it? as if you placed some obligation onto them or something >_>
