Today is #HumanRightsDay. A year ago, Canada promised to amend the Employment Equity Act to recognize Black workers. One year later? No action—just millions spent fighting Black public service workers in court. Learn more: Blackclassaction.ca/takeaction

How can systemic racism be fixed when the same leaders responsible for the harm are tasked with solving it? Decades of promises. No real progress. #Canada must stop ignoring Black workers and settle the #BlackClassAction. Take action: blackclassaction.ca/takeaction

48% of Black executives in Canada's public service face career stagnation for over 7 years, some for as long as 15 years with no promotion. This isn't just a career problem—it's systemic exclusion affecting entire generations. It’s time for real change. blackclassaction.ca/takeaction

Systemic racism in Canada’s public service is real—but those who allowed it to persist are still in charge of fixing it. We need an Independent Black Equity Commissioner for true accountability. Enough is enough. Sign the petition: blackclassaction.ca/takeaction #BlackClassAction

The federal gov't committed $77.9M for the Black Justice Strategy—an important step, but justice demands more. We call for action on Recommendation #15: Fund settlements for the #BlackClassAction to recognize Black public servants who faced discrimination.

🚨 Canada’s public service is failing Black workers—and lying about it. ⚫ In public: Leaders admit systemic racism is rampant. ⚫ In court: They call it “isolated incidents.” ⚫ Millions of taxpayer dollars fund these contradictions. Watch now: bit.ly/fairandsquare_…
