For years, economic sanctions— one of the West’s most powerful foreign policy tools— have been controlled by insiders and special interests. We’re here to change that. Our coalition is pushing for meaningful sanctions against Israel’s most malign elements. Join our movement.

The UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, says the cost of rebuilding Gaza should be paid not only by Israel but also by the US, Germany, Italy and the UK, as they are the main arms suppliers to Israel. 🔴 LIVE updates: https://t.co/cS8ArAa7Zj

A Canadian volunteer was attacked, beaten and robbed by armed Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank near Jericho. The settlers invaded the home at 4:30 in the morning, carrying army-issued rifles, and beat them for 15 minutes.

The home of our WBW national organizer and 3 other activists were raided by police before dawn. Five people have now been charged for standing up to war criminals at the London ON arms fair held by Elbit, Lockheed, and other arms companies last month. Urgent support is needed!

Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines. We will stand up for Indigenous rights, for our coast,

After promising landed status on arrival for caregivers, govt shut pilot without explanation—while 34,000 cases remain stuck in backlog. Cutting PR quotas will leave caregivers waiting 7+years. Caregivers should never be treated as 2nd class. Expand allocation & clear backlog now

Why don't Park Board frontline staff get the same level of support? What about our lifeguards, park rangers, janitorial staff, gardeners? What about all the other departments? I can tell you morale is not good. #vanpoli

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Starbucks isn't a poor company. Last year, it made $3.6+ billion in profits & paid its CEO $96 million, while denying workers a living wage and decent benefits. Let's stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers. Don't cross the picket line.
