4 hours left! We’ve been providing inclusive and compassionate care to queer youth for over 26 years and will continue to do so for many to come! Support our #P4A2025 entry to give us a shot at a transformative funding opportunity as we celebrate queer & trans joy! scarleteen.com/P4A-2025

I am so angry. A nurse reached out to me - she was brutally scalded with hot coffee by a white patient, who waited until her face was up before pouring it on her. Then, he called her the n-word. She’s looking for legal help. Black nurses deserve to feel safe too. This happened in Ontario, #Canada.
