#Act4QueerSafety was Queer Momentum's inaugural campaign, aimed at pressuring the Government of Canada to tackle anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate. With the support of partner organizations and allies across Canada, we lifted up our voices and urged action. Together, we raised the profile of this issue - and our advocacy had tangible results. In the last federal budget, the Government of Canada unveiled new funding to support education to address anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate. This was a win - and a big step forward.
But we know more is needed. That's why we've urged the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women to conduct a study on rising anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate. Through such a study, we can uplift lived experience, bring forward experts on the issue, and develop a roadmap to uphold the dignity, rights and safety of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Canada.
