Queer Momentum, Canada's leading 2SLGBTQIA+ political advocacy organization, has launched non-partisan billboards and other digital out of home ads in 12 cities across Canada, all aimed at encouraging Canadians to vote for freedom, equality and human rights in the 2025 federal election.
On the International Transgender Day of Visibility, over 200 trans, queer and allied organizations across Canada have published the following open letter to the leaders of Canada's major political parties urging them to uphold equality, freedom and human rights for trans and queer people in Canada.
The letter, authored by Queer Momentum, Egale Canada, the Enchanté Network and the Dignity Network of Canada, recognizes the global backlash against 2SLGBTQIA+ equality, and urges party leaders to "reject any effort, however veiled, to roll Canada backwards on equality and human rights for queer and trans people."
The open letter is below in English and French, with a full list of signatories at the bottom of this page. We welcome new organizations to add their name via this link.
