Event Overview and Background
OUR TIME TOGETHER: A national space for Black, Indigenous and racialized CUPE members and allies
Purpose: Black, Indigenous and racialized CUPE members and allies will share, make connections, and brainstorm actions to build an anti-racist labour movement. We’ll be guided by CUPE’s diversity vice-presidents, as well as our union’s Anti-Racism Strategy and commitment to Truth and Reconciliation. When members with lived experience and allies connect, change can happen. Participants will leave knowing their national union continues to be committed to creating an anti-racist union.
Background: This is the second national meeting to bring CUPE’s Anti-Racism Strategy to life. In Goal #2 – Representation, the strategy calls for CUPE to create organizing spaces for Black, Indigenous and racialized members, and we’re doing that. This time, allies are invited as this work can’t be done alone. So, whether you’re a grassroots member or sit on your local’s executive, please join us! It’s your opportunity to make connections, ask questions and give feedback on how to increase representation and how your diversity vice-presidents can best represent you.
If you have any questions, please contact the Human Rights Branch at antiracism@cupe.ca
In solidarity,
CUPE Sask.
