February is a time to celebrate, reflect upon, and honour the contributions of Black People worldwide. It’s also a powerful call to action – a reminder of our shared responsibility to build a future where every voice is heard, valued and celebrated. #psac #psacbc #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory
Together we can shift the way we approach our anti-oppression work and openly talk about how we can wholly include folks with disablities in all conversations about equity and social justice work - not just today but everyday. #nationaldayforpersonswithdisabilities #disabilityjustice #psacbc #psac
Too often disabilities are not seen, are not heard, and are not validated unless we challenge the status quo and demand better. But inclusion should not be an afterthought.

In a time when we are embracing an anti-oppression mindset and activating allyship for historically marginalized communities, it seems all too easy to check off the list the folks who are easier to see and those who are more readily understood. #access #disabilitiesawareness #psac #psacbc #ableism
With the reality that more than 1 billion of the world's population are living with some form of disabilitiy, it's important to acknowledge that the struggles face by persons with disabilities are often overlooked or minimized by others. #psac #psacbc #nationaldayforpersonswithdisabilities
Today is the Intl Day for Persons With Disabilities. It's a day to put a spotlight on and promote awareness of the rights of person with disabilities in all aspects of society. #cdnpoli #psac #psacbc #nothingaboutuswithoutus #disabilityrights #access #inclusion
PSAC is demanding the government invest the surplus in pension fairness for public service workers by suspending employee contributions and fixing the unfair, two-tier pension system brought in by the last Conservative government. #canlab #cdnpoli #psac #psacbc

PSAC is disappointed the government failed workers by not using the surplus to reverse the unfair two-tier pension system introduced by the Harper Conservatives in 2012. #psac #psacbc #canlab #pensions
