For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Saskatchewan! We're organizing to challenge Premier Moe's restrictive Bill 137 and ensure all kids have the freedom to be themselves. Join us for an organizing call on Thursday, November 6th, at 5pm Central time, to learn how you can help. RSVP here: momentumcanada.net/call

1/ Egale Canada celebrates the Government of Canada’s proposed five-year, $54.6 million commitment, with $10.9 million in ongoing funding, to renew the 2SLGBTQI+ Community Capacity Fund. As a key initiative that supports 2SLGBTQI community organizations, we commend the Government of Canada for

Queer Momentum applauds the Government of Canada’s announcement of continued investment in gender equality and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Today’s announcement was made possible by the powerful advocacy of advocates and allies across Canada. Read our full statement here: www.momentumcanada.net/wage

In less than one day, over 8,000 Albertans have signed this petition and sent letters to Alberta's Premier, local MLAs, and the Opposition Leader. If we don’t act, we teach every future government that rights are temporary. Join the fight here: savethecharter.ca

Two years ago, the Government of Saskatchewan suspended the Charter-protected rights of trans young people in the province. Two years in, this issue is no less urgent. That's why we're asking you to keep speaking up with us. Visit www.repeal137.ca to take action.

1/ Are you a trans or gender diverse individual passionate about social change and eager to lend your voice to challenge stereotypes and deepen public understanding of trans lives? We want to hear from you!

Some good news! After all that, only O.03% of families opted out of LGBTQ+ Education in Maryland after the Supreme Court gave them the ability to do so. Not just a majority, not just most families, nearly all families want their kids to have access to this education. We are the majority

New polling confirms exactly what you'd expect: Canadians want the federal government to maintain or even expand support for women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people - not slash it. Let's make sure the Prime Minister knows where Canadians stand: www.momentumcanada.net/budget

We are standing with hundreds of other Canadian non-profits in denouncing the proposed cuts to Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE)

Alongside 175+ organizations across Canada, including leading 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations like @egalecanada.bsky.social, @fiertecappride.bsky.social, Pride at Work Canada, Enchanté Network & Dignity Network Canada, we are sounding the alarm about potential cuts to Women & Gender Equality Canada (WAGE)

Over the last week Pride at Work Canada and the Enchenté Network brought a delegation to Ottawa to support the modernization of the Employment Equity Act which would include adding #2SLGBTQIA+ and Black communities as designated groups. We met with politicians across all political parties.

Alberta’s government threatens to use the notwithstanding clause on trans laws. A leaked memo suggests the government is preparing to enact Section 33 of the Canadian Charter to “protect kids” this October: inmagazine.ca/2025/09/albe...

Last night, leaked documents revealed Premier Smith's cowardly plot to use the "Notwithstanding" clause to pass laws targeting trans youth. It's a stunning admission that the bills violate fundamental Charter rights - and Premier Smith knows it. Help push back: www.momentumcanada.net/ab

Across Canada, 2SLGBTQI+ leaders are driving change and advancing equity in their communities. This week in Ottawa, I joined them for a national roundtable to listen, learn, and discuss the path forward on issues like sustainability and protecting rights.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

#Alberta we cannot let the UCP win. If they succeed in stripping the rights of transgender Albertans, they will expand their goals to larger groups of people. They are coming for all of us. We HAVE to stand together and fight the UCP. #ableg

Who protects workers when workers aren’t in the room? 👉 Harmonization of health & safety laws must raise the bar, not lower it. 👉 Workers’ voices and lived experience must lead. Read CLC’s Nathan Hauch’s co-written article:

We need to act now to ensure Prime Minister Carney pledges new funding to advance women's rights and 2SLGBTQIA+ equality in the forthcoming federal budget 🚨

It's a harsh reality: the United States is drastically more dangerous for queer and trans people. It's time for Canada to review its policies regarding refugee claimants from the US, and create an expedited pathway for 2SLGBTQIA+ Americans to flee the Trump regime. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Huge congrats to @cupescfp.bsky.social flight attendants! Despite Carney’s government imposing Section 107, they stood firm, fought back, and won a fair deal at the bargaining table. Deals are made at the table, not through government interference. #canlab canadianlabour.ca/cupe-flight-...

Big news from Manitoba! Bill 43, which sought to add gender expression to the provincial human rights code, has received royal assent!

While we wish it wasn’t necessary, the Canadian Medical Association has joined three Alberta doctors in filing a constitutional challenge to Alberta’s Bill 26, to protect the relationship between patients, their families and doctors when it comes to making treatment decisions.

We are grateful to these doctors and @cmadocs.bsky.social for pushing back against this senseless legislative interference in the provision of care to families.
