A reflection for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Confession: I only learned about this campaign this year and immediately felt that particular mix of “how did I not know this existed” and “well, better late than never.” So here it is, passing it along in case you didn’t know about it either.<\/p>\n\n

What is One Day’s Pay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

One Day’s Pay <\/a>is a grassroots campaign launched on Canada’s first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in 2021. It mobilizes settlers and non-Indigenous people across the country to meaningfully recognize the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, and to honour survivors, their families, and their communities. It’s guided by The Circle on Philanthropy<\/a>, a national Indigenous-led organization working to redistribute wealth and strengthen Indigenous-led infrastructure. Money goes directly to the profiled organizations as an act of responsibility, repair, and reciprocity. I’d encourage you to give generously and abundantly, and to skip asking for a charitable tax receipt this September 30th. Many of the most vital Indigenous-led projects and movements aren’t eligible for charitable status, or choose not to seek it. Don’t let that be the reason your support doesn’t reach them.<\/p>\n\n
