CUPE Local 1936 stands in solidarity with Black communities in North America and around the world.
As we have seen due to recent events in the United States, black people continue to experience oppression, discrimination, criminalization and murder.
We stand in solidarity with black people who mourn the loss of loved ones, members of their communities and the ongoing discrimination, racial profiling and hatred they continue to experience.
We understand many others affected by racism, such as Indigenous communities and people of colour have been impacted by the murders of black citizens in the US. We acknowledge that racism also occurs here in Canada and that this racism hurts and divides all of us. We stand with Black people, people of colour and Indigenous people against racism.
Racism, in all its forms, must stop. It has no place in our union and in CUPE Local 1936.
