COURAGEOUS VOICES FOR A JUST TRANSITION: Building a just economy and finding solutions together

Courageous Voices For a Just Transition is a free two-day bilingual online gathering bringing together union leaders, community organizers, and policy advocates to discuss labour’s role in transforming the economy and growing good sustainable jobs.

Through dynamic panels, and courageous conversations, we’ll create space to confront hard truths—about inequality, power, and the urgency of systemic change. From lived experience to structural transformation, we’ll spotlight how justice is being fought for on the ground, and how we can collectively push for policies that center people and planet.

This is a space to listen deeply, speak boldly, and build solidarity across movements!
