Home / Blog / Hundreds take to downtown Toronto to celebrate International Women’s Day

Amazing turnout at the International Women’s Day march this past Saturday! It was nice to see so many members and their family and friends… and on top of that, we bumped into Mayor Olivia Chow! The theme for this year’s march was “No One is Free Until We Are All Free.” We hope everyone had a good time, and we look forward to seeing library workers at next year’s event.

Special mention goes to Local 4948 member Ania Poradzisz, who not only joined the parade and proudly waved our flag, but was also interviewed by the CBC about the importance of the event

Today is #EqualPayDay. Women still earn 32% less than men. The gap is even larger for Black women, Indigenous women, Arab women and women w disabilities.

We need strong public investment in community services to narrow the gap & increase women's economic liberation.
