As part of a labour movement that stands up for equality and fairness, the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is encouraging its members to participate in the march in their community to demand gender, racial, social and economic justice.
Ottawa (18 Jan. 2018) — On January 20, one year after the historic Women’s March on Washington, people of all backgrounds, abilities, genders and orientations, will march to end hate, racism, Islamophobia and other forms of violence against women.
The march continues for equality and justice
Marches will take place across the country as part of a global coalition of sister marches that continue to mobilize on issues that affect us all — violence against women, anti-black, anti-Muslim and anti-Indigenous racism, discrimination and violence against migrant and precarious workers, refugees, and workers without legal status. Women’s marches continue to resist acts of hate, nationalism, xenophobia, homophobia and transphobia.
These marches will build on the success of grassroots movements and coalition mobilizations such as #METoo, BlackLivesMatter, #$15&Fairness, Make It Fair, and Idle No More.
