Equal Voice Victoria

Equal Voice is a multi-partisan, non-profit organization devoted to the still-bold idea that more women must be elected to every level of government.

There seems to be...something missing? We can’t quite put our finger on it...

And that’s - *sips* - the tea.

Real talk (a thread): Canada’s political system was made for and by men. Women did not even have the right to vote during its establishment. #cdnpoli #WomenInPolitics

[Equal Voice @EqualVoiceCA]

There are 0 women at the table for the first time in over a decade for the annual gathering of Canada's 13 provincial & territorial leaders. We need to do better and elect more #womeninpolitics at all levels of #cdnpoli https://t.co/KHl6yOFaDd

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Indigenous women have played a huge role in both traditional and colonial forms of governance. On this day we would like to honour Ethel Blondin-Andrew who became the first Indigenous woman elected to Parliament in 1988. #NIPDCanada #cdnpoli

[EqualVoice BC @equalvoiceBC]

Running for MP: that’s what Canadian women do!

Our survey asked why someone would stay in politics. Here's one fierce response.

Notre sondage a demandé pourquoi quelqu'un resterait en politique. Voici une réponse courageuse.

When the 🌍came together in Vancouver, our gov't set in motion a legacy of support for women, girls & gender diverse people, and the LGBTQ2S community. As the women’s movement at home & around the world is rising, we’re by their side every step of the way. https://t.co/NtF1Jwfgbw

We can’t stop thinking about the amazing speech @JanetBurnabyMLA made last week! #RepresentationMatters #bcpoli

[Janet Routledge @routledge_janet]

I'm touched by the number of people who have thanked me for my statement about #Everywomans . But really I am privileged to stand up in the @bclegislature to recognize all those who have risked their lives to protect a woman’s right to choose. #StopTheBans #bcpoli #cdnpoli

[Equal Voice Victoria @equalvoicevic]

Not only on #RedDressDay, but everyday we need to talk about the issue of violence against Indigenous women and girls, and hold politicians to account when they promise action #MMIWG #MMIW

[Hayley McMahon, MSPH, CPH @McMisoprostol]

There are over 5700 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. 4 out of every 5 Indigenous women are victims of violence, and the vast majority is committed by non-Indigenous men who are outside of tribal jurisdiction. It’s time to act. #MMIW #MMIWG https://t.co/qea5tSG6oA

Daily reminder that representation matters

[Maya Harris @mayaharris_]

Loved this exchange w/ Sadie in Keene, NH, who wanted advice from @KamalaHarris on being a good public speaker.

”Have you learned about the Titanic?”...

[Equal Voice Victoria @equalvoicevic]

We’re so proud of our UVic Daughters of the Vote, thanks for writing about some of them @TheMartlet! #DaughtersoftheVote #cdnpoli #bcpoli

[The Martlet @TheMartlet]

The Daughters of the Vote event in Ottawa was more politically-charged than usual this year when delegates turned their backs during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's speech, and left the room when Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer spoke.

[Janet Austin @LGJanetAustin]

Thanks @VancouverSun for publishing my OPED about civility in public discourse. I am working across sectors and partisan lines to encourage constructive participation in democracy. Grateful to speak @SFUPublicSquare Community Summit tonight on this topic https://t.co/T7jSkyf3eA

We love this!

Many people can't afford or don't have access to menstrual products. That's why by the end of 2019, all BC public schools will be required to provide free menstrual products for students. #bced #PeriodPromise https://t.co/cbPhcdXwrY
