Each year on March 21, we mark International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the anniversary of the day in 1960 when police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at an anti-apartheid rally.

Five years later, the United Nations adopted the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD); 2025 marks the 60^th anniversary of that groundbreaking document.

Our voices matter and so does our vote. Engaging in the democratic process is one of the ways we can influence the policies that shape our working lives and our communities. This year, and in years to come, you can make a difference by pledging to vote for equality and human rights.

I pledge to use my voice and my vote for a candidate who will stand up for equity.

I support a candidate who will:

✅Address anti-Black racism in the public service: Address the issues raised in the Black class action lawsuit and implement the proposals put forward by the Coalition Against Workplace Discrimination

✅Protect and improve workplace equity: Demand that the government amend the Employment Equity Actto enact the recommendations of the Employment Equity Review Task Force

✅Implement the recommendations contained in the Study on Black Executives in the Federal Public Service by Dr. Rachel Zellers

✅Commit to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): Promise to protect and promote diversity, equity and inclusion policies and programs.

Term employees at several departments have been informed that the employer will “freeze” the time being accumulated towards indeterminate status.
