I am incredibly proud of all @queermomentum was able to achieve in 2024.
We grew our team, trained advocates across 🇨🇦, launched impactful campaigns, tapped in to support activists in Alberta, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, and SO MUCH MORE.
Here are some highlights:

Listen to Zipp talk about the real world consequences of hate and discrimination.
Governments have a clear choice, yet many still choose to target our vulnerable youth and their families. #cdnpoli #abpoli #skpoli

We are thrilled to welcome members & activists from across Ontario this weekend for the OSSTF/FEESO 2024 Communications & Political Action Conference!
Executive Officer Sherry-Ann Bowen-Gordon introduced our firebrand panelists, with speakers from @queermomentum, @CBTU_Canada, & @ACORNCanada!
It's always so meaningful to connect with members, learn from them, & offer opportunities to build up their skills to hopefully (& eventually) benefit our entire Federation 🙌🏽

Workers & queer people have a shared struggle against inequality and injustice.
Thank you to @bcfed & union leaders across BC for your solidarity & support.
In periods of backlash, we build power and we unite for what is right.
Divided, we lose.
United, we win - for everyone.

Queer and trans non-profits are teetering on a financial cliff. Given the current political climate, many are looking for sources of funding outside of government grants and ways to increase visibility ... @KevinHurren takes us inside the struggle

Populists use 2S & LGBTQ rights as wedge issues to spread division and gain power. It’s obvious in 🇺🇸 - but happening in 🇨🇦 too.
To prevent regression, we need to get organized & build power. That’s what @queermomentum is all about.

Albertans are rallying across the province to protect trans rights. Bills like Bill 26, Bill 27, and Bill 29 threaten dignity and safety for students and staff. CUPE Alberta President @RoryGillAB: “Albertans need a government solving problems, not creating them.”

3000 calgarians came together today to share a vision of an empathetic, inclusive, PROGRESSIVE Alberta.
"We don't want to take Alberta back ... we want to take Alberta forward. This is going to be a long road. We are here for a long haul. It is going to take awhile to undo the unjust things that are happening." @KarlaMarx1917

I spoke at the PEI Federation of Labour Convention last night about the threat anti-queer hate poses to human rights, and the importance of solidarity between queer & worker movements.

Since we published our open-letter Artists Against Anti-Trans Legislation, we've funded multiple grassroots 2SLGBTQ-serving organizations, who have been particularly affected by proposed anti-trans legislation including @queermomentum, @stonewallyyc and The Alcove Centre.
