Exciting News!!
October 20, 2023
To: All members of MoveUP's Women and Gender Rights Committee
During our National COPE/SEPB Convention in 2022, the delegates passed a resolution to create a new funding model for equity, diversity and inclusion education, known as the Equity Education and Learning Fund. With the creation of this fund our locals are able to provide opportunities to do the social justice work we all hope to do with financial help provided from our national union.
We are now excited to be able to provide our Women and Gender Rights Committee members with an in-person week filled with activism, education and bonding!
This week will offer a three-day Women in Leadership course facilitated by CLC Rep Amandeep Nijjar, a fieldtrip to Science World’s Trailblazing Women in Canada since 1867 exhibit, guest speakers and more!!
When- Monday November 27th– Friday December 1st
