Join us on September 14th at 1PM Eastern (10AM Pacific) for Proud to Vote 2021 – a national discussion and debate on 2SLGBTQ+ issues with representatives of major Canadian political parties in the lead up to the 2021 federal election.
Confirmed party representatives include:
Green Party of Canada: Sylvain Dodier
Conservative Party of Canada: Hannah Hodson
Bloc Québécois: Marie-Hélène Gaudreau
New Democratic Party of Canada: Randall Garrison
Liberal Party of Canada: Rob Oliphant
This event is being presented by a consortium of national 2S/LGBTIQ organizations and networks including: The Enchanté Network, Fierté Canada Pride, Pride at Work Canada, the Canadian Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity, le Conseil québécois LGBT, the Canadian Rainbow Coalition for Refuge, JusticeTrans, CGLCC: Canada’s LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce, Egale Canada, ProudPolitics and Dignity Network Canada. XTRA / Pink Triangle Press is the media sponsor of the event and Wisdom2Action is the logistics sponsor of the event.
The event will be a registration-only Zoom webinar, while simultaneously broadcast live on Youtube. The event will be interpreted in both English and French.
The format will be simple: a bilingual moderator will guide the conversation and representatives of various organizations will pose 6-7 questions to party representatives on a range of 2S/LGBTIQ issues of interest to Canadians. Each party will have 2 to 3 minutes to share their party’s stance on the issue. Parties will be asked to make brief opening remarks of 2 minutes each.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Wisdom2Action acknowledges the land on which it was originally established as the traditional and unceded territory of the M’ikmaq, known as Mi’kmak’i (Nova Scotia). Our team is spread across Turtle Island (Canada) on the treaty lands of many First Nations. We recognize the people and the land in this way as part of our commitment to anti-oppression and decolonization. We are all treaty people.
