PSAC-BC Human Rights Committee Invites You To Make Submissions To Our Poster Contest
The PSAC-BC Human Rights Committee is made up of PSAC members from the Aboriginal, Racially Visible, Persons with Disabilities or GLBT groups. We meet with other members from these groups about once a month to discuss items of interest, for group discussions and to build our confidence by practicing public speaking.
The goal of our committee is
- To actively promote and encourage members from Human Rights/diversity groups to participate in the union and in society as a whole
- To educate union members at large on sensitivity and inclusiveness in the union
Our responsibilities include:
- To attend Committee meetings or send alternates to ensure that each group has a voice
- To serve as positive spokespersons for respective constituencies
- To organize activities and events for special “diversity days”
- To forge links with other human rights groups/coalition partners in the community
- To raise the profile of the equity/diversity union members in a positive manner within the union and the workplace
As such, we are offering all of our members the opportunity to present, in art form, a poster submission on what they feel the PSAC-BC Human Rights Committee represents, to, for and about its members.
