Today, we recognize Blue Jean Jacket Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about Missing, Murdered, and Exploited Indigenous Men and Boys (MMEIMB).

This day was created by Indigenous advocates and community members to bring visibility to a crisis that is too often overlooked. Indigenous men and boys continue to face disproportionate rates of violence, exploitation, and homicide, yet their stories, families, and communities are frequently excluded from public conversations about justice and accountability.

Blue Jean Jacket Day reminds us that every statistic represents a life, a family, and a community forever changed. It is a call to honour those who have been lost, support those who continue to seek answers, and recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism that contribute to violence against Indigenous peoples.

To stand in solidarity, you are encouraged to wear denim, and reflect and learn about the ongoing settler colonialism and state violence that affects Indigenous communities in so-called Canada.

June marks National Indigenous History Month. This is a time to recognize and honour the rich histories, cultures, languages, and long-standing knowledge and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Turtle Island. It is an opportunity to celebrate Indigenous knowledge, leadership, and resilience while reflecting on the truths that have shaped so-called “canadian” history.

Indigenous History Month calls on us to acknowledge the lasting impacts of colonization, including the history of residential schools and the ongoing impacts of land theft, water insecurity, assimilation, genocide, forced displacement, and systemic barriers that continue to affect Indigenous communities today. These histories are not confined to the past; they remain a part of ongoing realities that MUST require recognition, accountability, and meaningful action.
As we honour Indigenous histories and voices, we must acknowledge that Reconciliation is not symbolic, nor limited to a single month of recognition or action. It is a long-term commitment grounded in education, listening, respect, and action.
Supporting Indigenous communities means amplifying Indigenous perspectives through Truth and Reconciliation. It means to constantly work towards holding systems and institutions accountable to the 94 Calls to Action that have not been fulfilled. These actions are but not limited to child welfare, education, language, culture, health, justice, missing people, burial records, and many more. We must strive to advance equitable work, and move towards meaningful and lasting change in the form of decolonization and Land Back.

🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍⚧️
Pride is a celebration of identity, self-expression, love, and community. It is also a celebration of the resilience, resistance, and collective struggle that made it possible for so many of us to live more openly today.
Long before Pride became a mainstream celebration, q***r and trans communities were organizing, resisting discrimination, and fighting for the right to exist freely and safely.
Pride was built through the labour, courage, and organizing of q***r and trans people who refused to be erased, particularly Black, Indigenous, racialized, Two-Spirit, trans, and gender-diverse communities whose contributions continue to shape the movement today.
Pride reminds us that liberation is not something achieved once and for all. Q***r and trans liberation remains deeply connected to struggles against racism, colonialism, poverty, ableism, imperialism, and all systems that deny people the ability to live safely, freely, and authentically.
As we celebrate this month, let us also recommit ourselves to protecting one another, building community, and continuing the work of collective liberation.
Celebrate loudly.
Love unapologetically.
Take up space.

Today is Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, and is one of the holiest days of the year for Muslims. Today is also known as the Festival of Sacrifice. On this day, Muslims remember the sacrifices made by Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail but also make their own sacrifices to support those in need: Qurbani.

The holiday focuses on unity, spiritual fulfillment, and giving back. Today many Muslims celebrate by attending special Eid prayers, dressing in their best attire, giving charity, and sharing meals with family and friends.

While Eid is a time for celebration, it is impossible not to acknowledge the discrepancies in how Muslims around the world get to “celebrate” today. In Gaza, families are gathering in already crowded tents, with little meat or festive clothing after months-long intensive bombing campaigns by the occupation. In Khartoum, many Sudanese people, instead of buying a sacrificial animal and children’s clothes, are instead searching for drinking water and medicine.

Eid al-Adha is a beautiful holiday underpinned by community, faith, and charity. Today, it is important to keep all those in our community in mind, both local and global. From Tkaronto, to Gaza City, to Beirut, and to Khartoum everyone deserves a safe and blessed Eid.

The York Federation of Students wishes Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating.
