Much appreciation to Andrea Vázquez Jiménez from Policing-Free Schools for attending our 2 days of PETL Fall Steward Training to share about Bill 33 & the many impacts it will have on our schools & students. This government needs to *FUND OUR SCHOOLS*, not policing in schools. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab

Bill 33 “is a regressive piece of legislation that does nothing to support students and everything to consolidate power in the hands of the Minister of Education.”

In 1929, white women gained legal recognition as “persons” in Canada, excluded were Black, Racialized and Indigenous women. We remember that rights are never handed to us equally. We recommit to fighting systemic barriers so all persons can live with dignity. #PersonsDay #PETL #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab

In Peel, 1 in 10 children live in poverty, it keeps rising as housing prices rise, and wages stagnate. Families struggle while corporations profit and public services are cut. We need decent wages, affordable housing, and fully funded schools.#EndPoverty #PETL #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab
