The CHRC stands in pride and solidarity with every 2SLGBTQQIA+ person in Canada. Hate dehumanizes people and promotes fear & division. Nobody deserves to be bullied or intimidated for who they are or how they express themselves. Statement ➡️ https://t.co/JLlTEenrBj
The ultra-conservative right has organized nationwide events under the pretext of protecting children, while their true aim is to protest the teaching of 2SLGBTQIA+ content in schools.
Our mission is clear: to counter these protests and demonstrate unequivocally that there is no place for hate within our society. We shall stand together, resolute in our commitment to combat lies and misinformation while championing love, care, and respect.
We are calling upon every CUPE Ontario member to take action, sign up for a protest near you using the link below, and actively spread this message within your community and local union. Mass participation in these protests is essential to our cause.
You can RSVP for the protests via this link: https://t.co/HjooYwQ6Z2
Together, let's make our presence felt, countering false rhetoric, exposing lies, and proudly declaring that Canada has no tolerance for hate or discrimination. We stand as a united front, strong and unwavering in our commitment to a society built on love, understanding, and acceptance.
This is a betrayal of the very values we should be imparting to our youngest Americans: how to be curious, to inquire and to reach beyond our boundaries. Thank you, @theamandagorman for speaking up. And gratitude to @PENamerica & @FLFreedomRead for holding the line. #EndBookBans

Five years ago, on Valentine’s Day in 2018, my day began like any other day in our home. My wife and I were getting ready for work, and we were sending our forever 14-year-old daughter Jaime and at the time 16-year-old son Jesse off to school.

Yesterday we logged almost 200 challenges- about 150 of those resulted in immediate removals.

This is not freedom. #FreeTheBooks
The Holocaust began with words - and in the internet and social media era, the power of propaganda is more devastating than ever.
