We are seeing a growing global backlash against 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, and Canada is not immune. At a time when our communities are facing increasing hate, misinformation, and threats to our rights and safety, Canada needs to lead by standing up for 2SLGBTQIA+ people at home and abroad.
Since 2022, the Federal 2SLGBTQIA+ Action Plan has made important investments in community organizations and supported hundreds of projects across Canada. Fierté Canada Pride has seen firsthand how important these investments are to organizations working in communities from coast to coast to coast.
But the current Action Plan is set to expire in March 2027.
This is not the time to step back. We need to build on what has been accomplished and ensure that 2SLGBTQIA+ communities remain a priority for the Government of Canada.
Fierté Canada Pride is proud to join more than 120 q***r, trans and allied organizations from across Canada calling on the federal government to renew and expand the 2SLGBTQIA+ Action Plan in Budget 2026.
Together, we are calling for increased investment in our communities, a stronger whole-of-government approach, greater engagement with provinces and territories, investment in the economic potential of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and continued Canadian leadership on human rights globally.
