CFUW Resolutions: Proposers & Amenders Workshop
May 30, 4-6pm ET
|
|
 This workshop gives proposers of the six resolutions for 2022 an opportunity to interact with Clubs especially those who have sent them amendments, suggestions and comments relating to the resolutions. Prior to the workshop, proposers will have contacted each of those Clubs to explain why they could or could not accommodate the requested changes. Clubs whose proposed amendments do not appear in the revised wording and who still wish to bring their proposals forward may do so at the workshop. No new amendments may be submitted at the workshop as that deadline was April 19th.
Proposers and the Resolutions Committee appreciate the response that has come from Clubs to the opportunity to submit amendments. The committee realizes the intense effort that proposers have made to revise their resolutions to accommodate those proposed amendments that would improve without compromising the intent of their resolution.
Advocacy resolutions that have been passed at previous CFUW AGMs, or recently at a CFUW Policy Session, have become CFUW policy on which we can advocate to various levels of government. This workshop is part of the grassroots democratic process as we refine the resolutions that will be presented for a vote at the August Policy Session.
Grace Hollett for the CFUW Resolutions Committee

CFUW Southport launches "Grandma asked me to VOTE" campaign
|
|
|
This past Saturday, CFUW Southport members dressed like suffragettes and handed out cards Saturday in Southampton, encouraging people to vote in the June 2 provincial election as part of their "Grandma asked me to vote" campaign.
  (Photo 1: L-R Gabrielle Di Francesco, Frances Barrick, Kathryn Forsyth, Heather Wallace) (Photo 2: L-R Marilyn Hansen, Gabrielle DiFrancesco, Kathryn Forsyth and Heather Wallace).
As a non-partisan group, the women were not endorsing any one candidate or political party. Armed with banners, the women handed out cards saying, “the daughters and granddaughters of suffragettes are asking their children and grandchildren to vote.”
“The response was great,” said participant Frances Barrick. “Motorists honked their horns and pedestrians stopped to chat.” Women fought to get the vote and men and women fought in wars to protect our freedoms, Barrick said. “The least we can do is to vote in honour of the lives lost to keep our democracies, a battle currently going on in Ukraine.”
The suffragettes plan to campaign again in the fall for the municipal election in October.

Whether it is a village, a people, a country, or a global region experiencing these increased hazards the causes of environmental discrimination are similar across the world.
