On January 20, 2018, millions will march again in cities around the world and Unifor is encouraging every member to participate.

Recent events have shown that now is an important moment to come together to push for social justice for the most marginalized and oppressed among us.

The Women’s March is an important tactic for unifying our communities in order to create change. Now is the time to show resistance and solidarity. We must not rest until women have equity, justice and parity at all levels of leadership in society.
