Good people are on the ground doing the work everyday.

The fascists have nothing on this, nothing of integrity and character.

All they know is greed and selfishness. And that’s why they will always lose. Just sometimes they forget they’re going to lose and they need to be reminded.

So we’re here to remind them.

Chats on the road to #RSAC2025
All Aboard the Innovation Express: RSAC 2025 Is Rolling In Hot

🎙️✨This one’s a tradition—and we’re keeping it alive.

Every year, Sean Martin, CISSP and I hit the road for RSAC, and every year, we catch up with our friend Cecilia Murtagh Marinier, the force behind RSA Conference’s Innovation and Scholars programs. But this year? They’ve laid new tracks. Literally.

From the 20th anniversary of the Innovation #Sandbox (with $50M in real funding on the table) to #DARPA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) #AI Cyber City train ride, from brand-new investor and entrepreneur sessions to immersive villages and quiet networking corners—it’s all there. And it’s bigger than ever.

Come along for the ride. 🎧

🧠 It’s cybersecurity innovation, with heart, humor, and human connection.

#SNIWWOC #FoodProject: Your food, your choice.

According to Statistics Canada (Dec 2020), approximately one in seven Canadians (14.6%) were living in a food-insecure household in May 2020. #FoodInsecurity is also a cause associated with poorer nutrition as well as a variety of physical and mental health issues.

SNIWWOC is providing a #FoodSecurity program for #LowIncome #RacializedWomen including #transgender and #TwoSpirit community members. This program is intended to offset costs of monthly #groceries, not to cover all costs.

Eligible clients will receive the decided amount of gift cards to one of the grocery stores. We are committed to supporting vulnerable women in our community, such as single mothers and newcomers who are sometimes isolated.

ELIGIBILITY
1. Women Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour, including transgender, non-binary and two-spirit community members who are 18 years old or above;

2. Must make less than the low-income cut-off line (submit the proof of income)* see the table on website.

3. Resident of Greater Victoria BC, Canada.

STEPS:
1. Fill out our Groceries Project Request form.
2. Receive an email from SNIWWOC.
3. Submit proof of income (or household income if you are married/common law). This can include: a current tax return, notice of assessment, or any benefits received from the government (ex. Disability Assistance).

**Screenshots of bank statements or accounts will not be considered a valid form of proof of income**

4. Submit proof of dependent(s). This can include: health cards, passports, birth certificate, driver's license, school registration, childcare statement, or status card.

5. Set up an in-person appointment at SNIWWOC’s Victoria BC office.

6. Fill out the feedback survey sent via email from SNIWWOC.

Note: You can apply once every three months, while supplies last. Clients are eligible for their first round of gift cards every three months after receiving them. Clients who receive their second gift card in three months must wait another six months to be eligible for the program once again.

Example: Client A can apply in January and receive the gift card, then Client A can also apply again in April, then they would need to wait until October to be eligible for the program once again.

OUR TEAM
We are an interdisciplinary team of women dedicated to improving the health of racialized women across Canada. We are the community we serve.
