Edmonton Human Rights Committee Meeting Notice

Hello Brothers, Sisters, and Friends!

Human Rights Committees are a group of equity members (Indigenous Peoples, Persons with Disabilities (PWD), Racially Visible, and LGBTQ2+) that take action on political, social economic and workplace issues that effect equity members. This committee mobilizes equity members to participate in the union and take action on issues establishing networks that link equity members to the union and to the community. They also work to advance real equality and make the PSAC an inclusive union.
