Let My People Vote
Throughout our history in Canada, African-Canadians have faced barriers to full
political participation at all levels of our electoral processes.
In this context, this “Let my people vote” workshop is being offered to identify and
break down barriers to political participation for the Black community. Collectively we will give voice to our ancestors on February 27th.
Our goal goes beyond representation to substantive policy change to support our
community.

OPEN LETTER
The Honourable Steve Mackinnon
Minister of Labour

Dear Minister MacKinnon,
I am writing on behalf of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists Canada (CBTU Canada) and in solidarity with our members who work for Canada Post as members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) demand justice, fairness, and respect for the rights of Canadian postal workers. The recent decision to force postal workers back to work through a back-to-work order, particularly during the busy holiday season, is profoundly troubling and requires immediate and urgent reconsideration.
