🥇 .@WomensSport's #CloseTheGap campaign is aimed at tackling the “shocking disparity” in prize money between men’s and women’s sport.
➡️Stark new research has revealed the profound impact it has on aspiring sportswomen
Here's the scale of disparity 🧵

⚽️Euro 2020 saw the men’s teams split a prize fund of £275 million.
How many times more is this than the prize money for the women's Euro 2022?
How many times more is this than the prize money for the women's Euro 2022?
It's 20x higher

🗣️“Football clubs and sponsors are increasing investment into the sport more than ever before, but prize money seems to have a glass ceiling that needs to be broken. Let’s work together to #CloseTheGap”

Western Australia's @CATSINaM #BackToTheFire event is now set to begin - we'll be livetweeting the conversations and reporting later.
#BackToTheFire discussions being led by @WestRoianne of the Kalkadoon Djkunde Peoples joining from Country in north west Queensland
#BackToTheFire Welcome to Country on behalf of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation from Aunty Jane Jones, a @CATSINaM Founding Member, Hall of Fame Award winner, founding member of the Elders Circle catsinam.org.au/elders-circle/
Coming up in this afternoon's session at @CATSINaM #BackToTheFire online event on Gadigal land: @WestRoianne @LynoreGeia @LeeonaWest
Were roundabouts not pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals - recognition of Indigenous knowledge was just not there in nursing/midwifery disciplines, says @WestRoianne #BackToTheFire
We don't say we want more Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander nurses/midwives to replace AHWs - "My mother would give me a clip over the ear if I did!". It's about dealing with ambiguity." #BackToTheFire @WestRoianne highlights this important paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24997119/
We're live tweeting today from @CATSINaM #BackToTheFire conference on Gadigal land in New South Wales: here's the link to all our stories to date croakey.org/category/croak…
Participants are logging in to join @CATSINaM #BackToTheFire conference, with @WestRoianne set to deliver keynotes in the opening sessions.

What’s your human rights passion? Is it preventing persons from sexual abuse like the millions of tweets the past few weeks? Is it caring for the Elderly and the recent Royal Commission? Or is it the political attacks and Government cuts to ABC and SBS? 1/10 #Auspol #AusUPR20
There are so many issues in Australia right now. They are posted on Twitter daily. We might not know all of the facts. However, we do know, from the Human Rights Watch World Report 2021, the overwhelming evidence of Australia’s violations and concrete recommendations. 2/10
The 2021 Report is an excellent resource that can be used to back any of these calls for change. A reminder it was only published in January. If you search #AusUPR20 you’ll see Score Cards for each category on Australia’s violations and recommendations. 3/10
The Universal Periodic Review #UPR37 has now commenced: webtv.un.org/live-now/watch…
Australia will have its human rights record questioned by UN members on the global stage. The world is watching, and @NATSILS_ will be live tweeting.

Australia's representative Andrew Walter from AGD is giving an opening statement. The new #ClosingtheGap Agreement and @coalition_peaks has been highlighted as a key step forward for working in partnership with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. #UPR37 #AusUPR
It’s that time again! Time to acquaint ourselves with the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. A platform is guiding principles of a party..goals, vision, mission, promise. Only one party has a platform for the next four years..Here is the #DemFuture vision for the next four years..1/12
The last 3.5 years has revealed , at tragic economic and human cost, the emptiness of the Republican Party’s “America First” foreign policy. Under President Trump, America stands alone. 2/12 #DemPartyPlatform
Friends and foes alike neither admire nor fear President Trump’s leadership—they dismiss and ridicule it. The Republican Party under President Trump has made America small—when we are a people called to do the greatest things.3/12 #DemPartyPlatform #DemocraticLeadership
Alright, quick thread since I'd rather write a long-form article at some point when I can get the will and mental space to do so, but let's talk about Design Review in Seattle:

#housing #seattle #urbanism #design #architecture
Today, city council passed an emergency resolution tied to Design Review and COVID. The current system requires most developments in the city to have public meetings. Given that option is currently impossible, the system has been edited (temporarily)

Projects that normally have to go through full design review will go through administrative design review, and affordable (aka publicly subsidized) housing projects will be exempt from the process. This will be for six months, or until online meetings are able to be held...
