Trans Awareness Week reminds us that inclusion isn’t optional.
Trans workers deserve respect, safety, fair treatment, and to see themselves represented in our movement.
Unions fight for justice. That includes fighting for trans rights.

Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize Palestinian statehood in September. This came one day after the groundbreaking report demonstrating ongoing flow of arms from Canada to Israel, yet made no mention of enacting an arms embargo.
