Saturday, March 21, is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It’s a reminder that fairness, respect, and equal opportunity don’t happen on their own. Together we can make equality a reality, not just a goal.

A historic moment for working people in B.C.

Yesterday, more than 10,000 workers, unions, and supporters filled the streets of Victoria — one of the largest labour rallies in decades.

Moments like this don’t happen often. This gathering of union members brought back memories of 1983 and 2002…both turning points for B.C.’s public services.

Years later, we’re back…facing different challenges but fighting for the same principle: that public services deserve to be funded, and the people who provide them deserve respect.

✊ One day longer. One day stronger.
