This is the most SMF staff in one spot since the beginning of the pandemic! Ran into one another while getting asymptomatic covid tests after we all attended last Fridays protest. If you were there, highly suggest doing the online assessment and booking an appointment. The SMF will not be reopening during phase 2, but we definitely miss our community and look forward to when it will be safe for us to be back in the venue take care friends.

Hey folks. We have been on a bit of radio silence lately, as community support during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the recent ongoing protests against police brutality across the US and in Canada, is taking hold of our focus. It is important to take a hard stance against racism and police brutality and speak up for black lives, but as our social media is run by white folks, it's not our voices that are important right now. We are going to be taking time to listen and lea...rn from black and indigenous people in our community, and encourage others to do the same. Follow their accounts, read and share their content and uplift the voices of those most affected by racism + police violence in our communities. A reminder that the Blackout Tuesday campaign is flooding BLM hashtags on social media with black squares, making important information and donation links hard to find. Don't use the BLM hashtags if you are participating to ensure you are not erasing black voices or suppressing information. Just use the #BlackoutTuesday hashtag instead. We will be sharing resources as well as music and art from black and indigenous artists over the next few weeks, so stay tuned. Please stay safe, stay educated and take care of one another.

Anyone have that friend?
