Violence in any form is never acceptable. Together, we must educate and take action to end all gender-based violence. Make a start online with the UN's “UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls” because there is #NoExcuse for online abuse! #EndViolence #onted

AOC is out in the streets distributing food with volunteers while Congress melts down on cable news. This is what public service actually looks like.

“Skill-based learning and assessment with 1-on-1 time with students would be much more,” said #ETFO First VP ⁦@ShirleyBell8⁩, but only if resources permit that in classrooms. “Student learning is bigger than a mark on a page.” #EQAO #onted #onpoli

The @OFLabour rally headed to QP after the passage of Bill 33. As the crowd chants shame ETFO First VP @ShirleyBell8 explains that this legislation is a complete distraction from the real crisis in #onted. It's a crisis of underfunding and a lack of support for students!

During Holocaust Education Week, we can truly honour all Holocaust victims, survivors, and their descendants by learning and sharing survivor stories to never repeat the past. And every single day, we must also act to shut down antisemitism and hate. #cdnpoli

This is an important statement from our labour movement. Cuts to services and jobs are not the solution – it’s a shortsighted answer. Governments must invest in ppl and our future. #Budget2025

Our message to Parliament is simple: cuts don’t create jobs. Budget 2025 missed the mark, but MPs can still fix it. Canada’s unions are calling on the government to improve the budget and ensure it delivers for working people.⤵️ https://t.co/KzFmND7b8N

When the Alberta govt uses the notwithstanding clause to force a contract on workers, it's a despicable attack on all of labour. To the Alberta teachers who have been fighting for smaller classes and student supports, our union stands with you. #canlab  #abpoli

“A child with autism has the same right as any other child to be at school,” but a growing number can’t attend due to a lack of special supports, @OntAutism says. The waitlist for core services has also tripled under the Ford govt, with students now waiting an avg of 5 years.
