The work of addressing and challenging anti-Indigenous and anti-Black racism in our communities continues, and is more vital now more than ever as something we must prioritize in our union.

When CUPE Ontario’s Anti-Racism Organizational Action Plan (AROAP) was adopted by members at Convention in 2019, the goal was to root out these forms of racism in CUPE Ontario by identifying the practices and policies that act as barriers to participation for racialized and indigenous members. This goal remains constant.

AROAP Convention decisions have mandated that the AROAP Steering Committee include members beyond our Executive Board and Committees, and we are inviting members to join!

We are calling for CUPE Ontario members to join the committee and help create an organization that’s stronger and that truly includes and represents everyone, and a union that is better able to oppose racism in all our communities
