Hamilton Branch had a call from an Iranian Canadian asking why Canadians were not advocating and supporting Iranians in the same ways they were supporting Palestinians in Gaza. A very thoughtful question that we can all reflect on.

"The question is not whether the UN is good or bad, the question is 'whose hands is it in and how are they using it?'. History shows us both sides." - Leo Lekpele Nupolu Johnson

Thank you, Leo, for being our incredible kick-off speaker! We learned to look at UN systems from a decolonized lens and how SDGs are life, in everything that we do. Your journey and words of wisdom made us feel that our pursuit for a just and sustainable world is possible and practical.
