Today, CUPE Nova Scotia observes the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Although it is helpful to mark this occasion by acknowledging that racism and hate remain all too common in today’s society, it is also critical to recognize that many fellow Nova Scotians and CUPE members experience the pain of racial discrimination daily. Therefore, we urge our members and communities to confront racism and stand together in solidarity with our Black, Indigenous and racialized colleagues and neighbours not just today, but every day.
