Listening to the incredible Fae Johnstone, MSW and Debbie Owusu-Akyeeah discuss uniting queer, trans, and labour movements. In solidarity we will celebrate our authenticity and fight back against a regressive movement. #Broadbent2024

Yes! “Don’t use polling data to dictate policy around human rights” Debbie Owusu-Akyeeah and “this isn’t just about trans rights, it’s about workers’ rights and women’s rights…” Fae Johnstone, MSW

Name things for what they are with intelligence and passion ✊🏻🔥 Broadbent Institute

Fae and Debbie are making a compelling case for making this a priority for the whole progressive/labour movement. It’s going to require a big shift in approach and framing and efforts to connect directly with members, push back against fear and misinformation

Had a lovely chat with Marit Stiles tonight about equality and freedom for trans people.

I am grateful for elected officials speaking up for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights in an era of resurgent hate.

This #TransDayOfVisibility , I’m asking allies to take action for trans rights.

Send a letter to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith urging her to cease her assault on the rights of transgender youth and their families: momentumcanada.net/alberta

Artists are speaking up.
Faith leaders are speaking up.
Health leaders are speaking up.
Parents and families are speaking up.

Together, we will turn the tide. We will confront hate, and keep moving towards a more free and equal 🇨🇦 for all our families.

Fae Johnstone, MSW answers: “How can community members, organizations and institutions be better allies to trans and gender-diverse people?”
