International member organizations and endorsers of the Global Sanctions Coalition (GSC) have submitted coordinated recommendations to the Governments of Canada, the European Union, and the United...
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.

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

When we don't have a Strong Federal NDP in Ottawa Canadians suffer. The National Daycare program and the Canada Dental Care Plan are NDP legislation! These are incredibly meaningful programs that raise Cdn living standards! Great work @theJagmeetSingh. @LibbyDavies @avilewis
Vancouver, you showed up last night and left me inspired. The stories shared, the passion in the room, and the collective refusal to accept a rotten deal – it’s all a necessary reminder that we're not alone in this fight against a system rigged for the rich. And a huge thank

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
ABC Councillor Mike Klassen: Does your force feel supported, have good morale. Rai: Absolutely, for the first time in years.

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?
As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

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.

The vast majority of budget survey respondents were willing to pay a moderate tax increase to protect services. Why did you push Zero Means Zero before the results were available?
