You’ve heard the term "Defund the Police", but what does it really mean? Is it calling for the abolishment of law enforcement? What is wrong with the current Police Services? Who do I call during an emergency? “Re-direct funding”…where would re-allocated funds go?
If these questions have been on your mind in recent days/weeks/months, the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU) and the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) invite you to join us on Wednesday, February 17 at 7pm to have your questions addressed in this third installment of our CBTU Black History Month Webinar series.
Speakers include:
Robyn Maynard – Canadian Author and Academic, El Jones – Spoken word poet, educator, journalist, and community activist, and Sarah Jama – Community organizer and advocate.
RSVP now to get a link to join the webinar.
April 22nd, 2025 is Earth Day. The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Ontario Canada (CBTU), the Enrich Project and the Toronto Environmental Alliance call upon labour and the community to reconnect with and build a relationship to the earth. Why? It’s simple – the extraordinary benefits of time spent outdoors should be available to all. Outdoors, is a great big, beautiful earth, where children and adults can learn about themselves through the experience of exploring in nature. One cannot love what one doesn’t know. If we want children to become adults who will care for and protect the earth, we must encourage a strong relationship with the natural world.
The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU)-Canada stands in solidarity with all Canadian workers affected by the 47th US President’s recent application of 25% tariffs on all automobiles and auto parts made in Canada.
