The National Rainbow Week of Action, led by the Society of Queer Momentum in partnership with Fierté Canada Pride and the Enchanté Network, and powered by local advocates and organizations across Canada, brings together 2SLGBTQIA+ advocates and allies from the country speaking up for a more free, equal and socially just future — for 2SLGBTQIA+ people and everyone in Canada.
With anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate on the rise across Canada, we — as queer and trans people, allies, friends and families — are speaking up. We are urging elected officials and governments at every level to take action to advance rainbow equality, address hate and advocate for a more free and equal future for all our families.
Within the Rainbow Week of Action, we are pushing governments and elected officials at every level to take action for Rainbow Equality and address rising anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate. As such, we have identified calls to action for every level of government. These calls to action can be reviewed here.
