CUPE members and national leaders joined the Families of Sisters in Spirit vigil for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit & gender-diverse people. Hundreds bore witness as family members shared stories, songs, poems, prayers. Governments must act now! #MMIWG2S

#PinkShirtDay is an initiative to address homophobic and transphobic bullying and celebrate acceptance, respect and inclusion. Work should be safe for everyone. #canlab #cdnpoli #LiftEachOtherUp
Bullying, harassment and discrimination have no place in our schools, communities or workplaces. Canada's unions call on the federal government to ratify #C190 to help end workplace violence and harassment. #PinkShirtDay #canlab #cdnpoli
In February, CUPE celebrates the best of Black History & culture. During #BlackHistoryMonth we also take time to honour the ancestors & upcoming leaders of Black communities. We highlight their accomplishments & their continued fight. Let's change! #BHM cupe.ca/event/black-history-…
