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.
