Bringing our anti-racism strategy to life
Black, Indigenous and racialized CUPE members will come together to share and be heard, to lift and build each other up. Participants will leave knowing their national union is committed to creating an anti-racist labour union, starting with the 10 goals outlined in CUPE’s Anti-Racism Strategy.
This meeting is the first step in bringing CUPE’s Anti-Racism Strategy to life. In Goal #2 – Representation, the strategy calls for the creation of organizing spaces for Black, Indigenous and racialized members to come together.
Whether you’re a grassroots member or sit on your local’s executive, this is your opportunity to make connections, ask questions, provide feedback and let your diversity vice-president know how best they can represent you.
