In March 2024, PSAC’s Social Justice Fund resumed its annual worker education program after a four-year pause due to the pandemic. PSAC members and young workers travelled to Guatemala’s highlands to participate in the 14th Education-In-Action delegation — an annual project led by PSAC’s Social Justice Fund in partnership with the solidarity organization Education In Action.
These initiatives all highlight the critical role of the SJF in mitigating the effects of poverty in the territories, with a focus on food security and emergency support, ensuring that vulnerable communities have the resources they need to thrive.
April 24, 2024, marks 11 years since the collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This terrible and avoidable tragedy killed more than 1,134 workers and injured more than 2,600, unveiling the horrific conditions of work for millions of workers in an unregulated industry, not only in Bangladesh but in dozens of other countries as well.
Our success in negotiating the Fund at the bargaining table is growing.
Mission Statement
Access to basic human rights including water, food, and housing – is increasingly at risk or out of reach for many communities in Canada and countries around the world. As a union, our fight today and every day is to raise the standard of living for all workers, secure decent and safe working conditions, and help build equitable communities everywhere.
PSAC Social Justice Fund (SJF) is organizing a delegation to travel to Guatemala in the spring of 2024 to work with and learn from grass roots organizations empowering communities.
PSAC’s Social Justice Fund is proud to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Partners in Pride program with a donation that will help fund the health and human rights of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in sub-Saharan Africa. The contribution aligns with the 2023 Pride season, an annual celebration of the progress we’ve made, and a reminder of the work that still lies ahead for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
